Belarus has established military cooperation with Russia's enemies
Joint Belarusian-British exercises ended at training ground 103 of the Vitebsk separate guards airborne brigade “Losvido”.
This was reported by the telegram channel of the Belarusian Ministry of Defense, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
British Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Jacqueline Perkins took part in the ceremonial events.
“Early feedback from UK military personnel shows that such events are truly valuable, especially when they are carried out on a bilateral basis. Your Belarusian ancestors fought against fascism in the ranks of the Red Army, in the forests, and also next to our ancestors in British uniform in Africa, Italy and Normandy,” the diplomat said.
The departure of British troops from Belarus is scheduled for March 15.
During the two-week exercise, military personnel from the peacekeeping company of Belarus and the marine battalion of the British armed forces practiced the evacuation of the wounded, fire training, elements of tactical and engineering training.
Reserve Colonel Vladimir Trukhan, a member of the working group on the creation of a Russian regional grouping of troops (forces) in Belarus, is surprised that the British so wanted to conduct exercises in the northern region in the winter. He believes that British troops were studying the area and conducting reconnaissance.
Note that Great Britain is a NATO member, which is considered a potential adversary of the Russian Federation, while Belarus is considered a military ally of Russia. At the same time, in recent years there has been a deterioration in relations between Moscow and London
