Belarus and Russia have decided to extend the length of their joint exercises “due to the increase in military activity” near the two nations’ borders, Minsk announced on Sunday.
The joint Russian-Belarusian training exercise, named ‘Union Resolve’, began on February 10 and was scheduled to end on Sunday. The drills have seen thousands of servicemen from both nations gather in Belarus to practice offensive maneuvers.
However, many Western politicians have suggested that this is simply an excuse to gather troops near the border of Ukraine, ahead of a potential invasion. Both Minsk and Moscow have denied plans to attack.
“Due to the increase in military activity near the external borders of the Union State, and aggravation of the situation in Donbas, the presidents of Belarus and Russia have decided to continue the checks of the Union State’s response forces,” Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin said.
