The official pretext is territorial defense exercises. However, earlier in the Ukrainian media, concerns were repeatedly expressed about the Russian-Belarusian exercises “Zapad-2017”.
“At a time when Russia is planning large-scale military exercises on the territory of Belarus, Ukrainian military formations and formations will participate in territorial defense activities in the Manevitsky district. District leaders are asked to convey this information to people, so that local residents are not afraid, but know that military formations will conduct training in Volyn,” the publication reports.
As PolitNavigator previously reported, formerly the ex-ambassador of Ukraine in Minsk Roman Bessmertny spoke about the threat posed by the Belarusian-Russian exercises to Kyiv.
“We need to forget about the phrase that only tractors will come from the territory of Belarus to Ukraine. These tractors will come with guns,” said Bessmertny.
