September 12, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Most combat readiness checks of the Belarusian army are coordinated with Moscow, Russia\u2019s Interfax<\/em> reports, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying on September 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the same day, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka visited the Abuz-Lasno\u016dski training ground near Baranavi\u010dy in the Brest region, which hosted five-day military maneuvers. \u201cThe army needs a good shake-up; the time has come,\u201d the politician told journalists from Belarusian state-run media. \u201cThat includes the entire army. We\u2019ll inspect everyone, right up to mobilization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician said the entire armed forces would undergo inspections, with signal and artillery units being inspected on the day of his remarks and motorized infantry units the previous day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspections focus on combat readiness, with troops expected to train under conditions as close as possible to those they would face in battle, \u0141uka\u0161enka said, warning against showmanship, which he said could put servicemen at risk in combat. He described Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine as a key factor in the decision to overhaul the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian ruler reiterated that the authorities need to \u201cprepare for war in order to avoid it,\u201d while stressing that Minsk \u201chas no intention of attacking anyone\u201d and \u201cmust always be ready to respond appropriately if something were to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2022, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine in which the Belarusian authorities supported the Kremlin, allowing Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarus on multiple occasions and supplying arms to Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
