The Russian servicemen will return to the points of permanent deployment after the end of the exercises, said the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov. According to him, the units of the Southern and Western military districts have already begun loading onto vehicles and will move out today, February 15.

“As the combat training activities are completed, the troops, as always, will make marches in a combined way to their permanent deployment points. The units of the Southern and Western military districts, having completed their tasks, have already begun loading onto rail and road transport and today they will begin moving to their military garrisons, ”said Mr. Konashenkov.

They will be able to observe the last stage of joint exercises. As the representative of the Ministry of Defense explained, on February 19, live firing will take place there as part of the exercises. During this event, the marine brigade, together with formations and military units of the armed forces of Belarus, with the support of operational-tactical and army aviation, will work out the tasks of conducting a defensive battle and performing maneuvers in other directions.

In addition, from January 10 to 20, joint Russian-Belarusian exercises “Allied Resolve-2022” will be held, within which the troops will work out the suppression and repulse of external aggression, countering terrorism and protecting the interests of the Union State.
