MADRID, 6 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Belarusian authorities have announced on Tuesday the start of a "training plan" to "maintain combat and mobilization readiness" within the Armed Forces, amid tensions over the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February by order of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Belarusian Ministry of Defense spokeswoman, Inna Gorbacheva, has indicated that "the activities are carried out in line with the training plan after the call to military service and the development of an initial military training program for new recruits. ".

Thus, it has stated that these tasks include "consecutive and complex training in all categories of military personnel, subdivisions, military units, formations, military command and control agencies", as indicated by the Ministry of Defense of Belarus in its account on Telegram.

"The main objectives are to maintain combat and mobilization readiness at the required level, increase the coherence of the command and control bodies, improve the practical capabilities of commanders and train personnel to act in various conditions," Gorbacheva has settled.

The Belarusian Armed Forces have carried out various maneuvers in recent months in the context of the war in Ukraine, which accuses Minsk of getting involved in the conflict on the side of Moscow by allowing the use of its territory to maintain its operations and launch attacks against Ukraine.
