Belarus’ Defence Ministry: NATO builds up heavy weapons near Belarusian borders

The Defence Ministry of Belarus has stated that the military and political situation in the region has changed.

Charter97.org was informed about that by the press-service of the agency.

“It should be noted that the end of 2014 was marked with an unprecedented scope of activities of the Baltic States in intensification of measures for operational and troops preparations,” the report reads. “At the same time, the bordering states are demonstrating their aspirations for building up the foreign military presence on their national territories. Alongside with stepping up the aircraft component of the NATO countries in the Baltics States, which is performing functions of air policing, stage by stage the alliance is building up additional military contingents equipped with heavy weapons near the borders of Belarus. Regardless of the geopolitical preconditions for adopting such a decision by our foreign partners, Belarus does not have a right to ignore the changes of the military and political situation in the region, which are posing additional risks, challenges and threats to the military security of the state.”

According to the ministry, these aspects have been taken into account by the military-political leadership of Belarus when shaping the Armed Forces’ Military Training Plan for the academic year of 2014-2015.
