The group notes that military exercises have been ongoing since April 29. At the same time, it is emphasized that "the Belarusian army has become more prepared for defensive operations, but it is still not ready for a large-scale offensive due to the lack of real combat experience."

As of December 29, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there were 11,000 Russian troops and more than 400 units of Russian military equipment deployed at the Belarusian training grounds.
