Details: It has been reported that military units and subunits of the Russian group of troops located at Military Training Grounds in Belarus have been inspected.

The quality of combat coordination training was also checked. The commission assessed their readiness to "perform their assigned tasks in the interests of ensuring the military security of the Union state."

Background:

• On 11 January, it became known that another military train from Russia, which consists of 15 passenger carriages and 10 goods wagons, as well as 15 open goods wagons carrying wheeled and tracked vehicles, arrived at the Čepina railway station in the Vitebsk Oblast of Belarus.
• British Intelligence reported that although Russia holds a significant number of troops in Belarus, they are unlikely to constitute a real offensive force, and the new deployment of Russian aircraft is not a preparation for any additional offensive operations against Ukraine.
