Poland sends 40,000 troops to eastern border as Europe moves closer to war with Russia and Putin masses his forces in Belarus for huge Zapad 2025 military drills following drone ‘attack’

Poland sent 40,000 troops to put it in Russia and Belarus for the placement of the Eastern border while preparing for a large joint military exercise show called ZAPAD 2025.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the West has been closest to open conflict since World War II.

He called the upcoming military exercises ‘very aggressive’ and closed the country’s border with Belarus with the expectation of a scary screen.

Poland’s National Defense Deputy Minister Cezary Tomczyk said in a statement late on Wednesday, ‘Poland, is preparing for Zapad-2025 exercises for months,’ ‘he said.

“ Polish and NATO troops Zapad-2025’e necessary to respond sufficiently, ” he said. Therefore, the Polish army is preparing for it. In the coming days, we will have approximately 40,000 soldiers at the border. ‘

The Kremlin will do Zapad 2025 exercises narrowed with patience from Friday to Tuesday, September 16 with Belarus near Poland and Lithuania.

Drills emerge about four years. The latter, in 2021, led to a great accumulation of power in Belarus to attack Ukraine a few months later.

A former NATO official warned that this year’s exercises can ‘serve as a cover for a military accumulation’ and are expected to participate in tens of thousands of soldiers.

Germany’s defense chief Carsten Breuer, NATO Chief Mark Rutte said that Russia has increased rapidly because NATO said around the exercises ‘will be in our guard’, he said.

Rutte warned that coordinated attacks from Russia in Europe and China in Asia could trigger the Third World War and that Putin could disturb NATO with an attack in Europe.

Zapad – means ‘West’ – officially a defensive exercise. The troops are expected to prepare an attack, including air strikes and sabotage, according to official reports.

However, Russia’s potentially tens of thousands of soldiers are expected to rehearse using the new nuclear missile on the border of Europe, as well as other things.

Some exercises will be just a few miles away from the NATO borders.

Poland is still trying to respond to the attack of 19 Russian drones on Tuesday and Wednesday.

TUSK called Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty for the 8th time since its establishment on Wednesday of NATO.

It acts as a starting point for major operations and will pave the way for consultations around the perceived threat to independence or security.

Polish Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday that the UN Security Council will also hold an emergency meeting in demanding discussing the drone attack.

Moscow rejected the responsibility for the incident, saying that a senior diplomat in Poland came from the direction of Ukraine, where drones were invaded by Russia in 2022.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that drones carried out a major attack on military facilities in Western Ukraine, but they did not plan to achieve any target in Poland.

While the ghost of war appears on Europe, Zapad exercises come at a precarious time.

ZAPAD organizers said that their exercises will not exceed 13,000 personnel and that Belarus would invite observers from NATO countries this year.

Analysts are likely to be much higher than 13,000.

ZAPAD-2021, a beginning of the war in Ukraine, was expected to have 12,800 soldiers; According to Russian officials, it approached 200,000.

According to military analysts, satellite images provided by Planet Labs also show the construction of a potential military facility in Belarus.

It turned out that it was under redevelopment in late August near Minsk, which was previously used to host Soviet nuclear weapons.

Experts told RFE/RL Perhaps they can be used to store ‘strategic level equipment’, including Oreshnik missile.

Security analysis firm Rochan Consulting Director Konrad Muzka said, “They will probably be nuclear armed or will probably be a nuclear component attached to him because they use the facilities used to host such equipment during the Cold War,” he said.

Lieutenant General (Ret.) Lance Landrum, Cepa Member and former Vice President of the NATO Military Committee in question This year’s exercise needs to be compared with events that led to the occupation of Ukraine in February 2022.

“ I think this can serve as a cover. Now we should look and see exactly what they do in this upcoming exercise, because there are too many historical intelligence in previous exercises and we can compare it, ” he said.

Lieutenant Gen. Lance Landrum (RET) added that there will be a lot to learn here ‘. Exercises for NATO will offer a window to Russian talents and strategies.

The lack of drone activity for both parties in the war in Ukraine may indicate that Russia is missing staff and equipment to train on a scale after three and a half years of war.

NATO can also learn insights about Russia’s electronic intervention and jam capacity.

Russian and Belarus forces are expected to plan to use the new Russian Oreshnik nuclear missile systems.

Russia’s medium -range ballistic missile was used in what President Vladimir Putin called ‘test’ for the first time last year in Dnipro of Ukraine.

Oreshnik is expensive, and Ukraine, where troops are generally dispersed on a wide and open front, is not very logical.

But it pose a threat to compact goals such as air bases – probably the first targets in a war with NATO in Europe.

He was determined in the Polish assessment. Donald Tusk, ‘This provocation is more dangerous than any previous one,’ he said.

“This brings us closer to the open conflict, which has been closer to any time since World War II,” he said.

Poland later called on Article 4 of NATO, and that any member could have urgent talks when he felt that ‘regional integrity is at risk, political independence or security’.
