October 5, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Military training for underperforming agricultural workers has achieved its goal and will continue if necessary, Defense Minister Viktar Chrenin has said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past two months, more than 170 conscripts completed an intensive combat training course at the base of the 103rd Viciebsk Separate Guards Airborne Brigade and passed exams in marksmanship, tactics, engineering and medical training, the defense ministry\u2019s press office reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants also trained to secure Belarus\u2019 southern borders, fortify terrain and patrol \u201cparticularly dangerous sections of the Belarusian-Ukrainian border,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chrenin described the conscripts as \u201cvery good, hardworking people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a government conference on July 21, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka ordered that workers who have failed to perform their duties properly during the 2026 harvesting season should be sent to southern Belarus to guard the border with Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military recruitment center officials have subsequently started visiting agricultural companies to identify poor workers who should be punished with military service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
