“We see what is happening on the adjacent territory. We saw the drills recently conducted by the Americans at the training ground in Pabradė [in Lithuania]. A unit of 900 personnel located 15 km from the border,” said Aleksandr Volfovich. “There are aircraft overflights, reconnaissance, and actions by special operations forces along our state border.”
The state secretary of the Security Council noted that Belarus does not pursue a policy that provokes its neighbors to such actions: “All our activities and drills are conducted deep within our country’s territory, at remote training grounds.
