Feb 8, 2022: According to a report by Reuters, Ukraine’s military will hold military exercises from February 10 to 20 in response to Russian exercises in Belarus near Ukraine’s northern border, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said late Monday.
Reznikov told a local TV channel that Ukrainian troops were conducting various exercises and that from February 10 they would start drilling the use of Bayraktar drones and anti-tank Javelin and NLAW missiles provided by foreign partners.
Western nations say they fear Moscow is planning to invade Ukraine because it has gathered more than 100,000 troops on the Ukrainian border and has deployed 30,000 more troops for joint exercises in Belarus. Russia denies such a plan, saying it needs to strengthen its defenses in the face of NATO expansion in the east.
