March 17, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> General Staff Chief Viktar Hulevi\u010d has set off for Havana to strengthen military ties with Cuba, the Belarusian defense ministry reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trip comes amid a comprehensive combat-readiness drill conducted by the Belarusian Armed Forces in response to NATO\u2019s Steadfast Defender, a multi-domain exercise, incorporating land, air, sea, cyber and space operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few days earlier, General Hulevi\u010d said that the scale of the exercise will be expanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian defense ministry called up more than 3,000 reservists for the comprehensive drill, the defense ministry said today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NATO’s Steadfast Defender involves deploying forces from North America and other parts of the Alliance to Europe. Over several months, complex multi-domain operations will be conducted across thousands of kilometers, thereby enhancing civil-military cooperation and national and collective resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exercise is strategically located in several key European countries, including Finland, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Events are taking place from late January to the end of May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
