It was tasked with moving out and covering, taking under protection an asset on the southern border.

The results of the inspection will be deeply analysed and reported to the Head of the State."

According to Volfovich, the inspection of the leadership of the Armed Forces of Belarus is being conducted suddenly.

During this inspection in Belarus, it is planned to carry out "a march over long distances, amidst an unfamiliar terrain, where the task of taking under protection various assets, engaging the firing lines, performing fire and tactical tasks will be carried out".
