On the eve of NATO's summit where further support for Ukraine is on the agenda, Belarus and China started joint military exercises just miles from the border of NATO-member Poland.
China and Belarus started joint military exercises on Monday, the Belarusian and Chinese defence ministries said, holding the drills just few miles from the border of NATO-member Poland and kicking them off on the eve of the alliance's summit.
The manoeuvres, codenamed Falcon Assault, will go until July 19 and are taking place at a training ground near the city of Brest, the ministry said. Brest, in southwest Belarus, lies on the border with Poland. Leaders of NATO's 32 member countries meet on Tuesday in Washington for a summit where further military and financial support for Ukraine will be high on the agenda.
In an unrelated post on Telegram, the Belarusian defence ministry said on Monday that the size of NATO forces on the border with Belarus is rapidly growing, which leads to increased tension in the region. 'Our country is taking all possible measures to prevent escalation. However, if someone crosses our borders, the reaction will be harsh,' it said in the post.
