Ukraine Building Concrete Walls To Shut Out Belarus When Russia held large-scale military exercises in Belarus in February, the two countries described them as defensive in nature, aimed at repelling outside aggression, namely from Ukraine and NATO.They included at least 190 tents at Abuz-Lyasnouski in western Belarus where ground forces train, 35 in Repishcha in central Belarus where artillery forces exercise, and 80 in Lasvida outside Minsk where airborne forces train.Hundreds of pieces of military hardware, including trucks and some howitzers, have arrived at the bases as well, according to the images.The lack of investment has showed up in the often chaotic and haphazard nature of the mobilization since September 21 -- something that has been closely documented by Russian media.Zhirokhov said it was possible Russia could order its troops into Belarus to invade Ukraine once their training finishes in the spring."
