Russian paratroopers begin loading for participation in the "Zapad-2025" exercises.
The Russian Ministry of Defence reported that the airborne units arrived at the airfields and began loading equipment into military transport aircraft.
The joint and largest strategic exercises of Putin’s and Lukashenko’s armies began on September 12. In response, Poland completely closed its border with Belarus, and Western media claim that the Kremlin and Minsk will be rehearsing scenarios for an attack on NATO.
For example, under the guise of "defending Kaliningrad," an attack on Poland and a strike on the Suwalki corridor—a key artery connecting the Baltic countries with Europe—will be rehearsed.
