Russian and Belarusian military carryout missile drills at Ukraine border

RUSSIAN Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu reviewed live-fire exercises in western Belarus on Thursday (January 3), part of a surge of military activity close to Ukraine.

Russia, in its biggest deployment to Belarus since the Cold War ended, is expected to have 30,000 troops as well as fighter jets and missile systems for the joint exercises that run until Feb. 20, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said.

The presence of a large Russian force in Belarus has added to western fears that Russia could be preparing to attack Ukraine on multiple fronts. Moscow denies any such intention and says the exercises are defensive in nature.

Ukraine said Russia currently has a total of 115,000 troops near its borders.

May peace and blessings be upon everyone

Life is already difficult, and the war makes life more difficult. Stop the war. War is not a solution. It is better to find a way, to live in peace. It really makes me sad to see what's going on.

[singularity]

Those ground to air missles are no joke. That's not a drill that's practice for an invasion.

[sharnasky]

This is ridiculous we want peace against all nations 🙏

are they training or making a movie, the drone shots look good.
