Warsaw says it is deploying 40,000 troops along its frontier
Russia and Belarus yesterday began major joint military drills on Nato's eastern borders, sparking fresh security concerns just days after Poland shot down Russian attack drones that entered its airspace.
The manoeuvres, known as the “Zapad 2025” drills, will take place until Tuesday close to Nato members Poland, Lithuania and Latvia's borders. Russian officials said the exercises are “the final stage of this year’s joint training between the two countries’ armies” and added that troops will practise actions “at firing ranges in the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation and in the Baltic Sea and the Barents Sea”.
According to a statement on Russia’s Tass news service, the war games will simulate how the military would respond to “localised aggression” against Russia and Belarus.
Russian officials said the drills were planned before the provocation caused by the drones entering Polish airspace.
