The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus reported about the allegedly unbelievable pace of recruitment of persons liable for military service during the inspection of the combat readiness of the Armed Forces. According to the ministry, more than 3,000 persons liable for military service have arrived at the reception centers for only six days since the beginning of the inspection.

“The supply of personnel is carried out promptly, in the shortest possible time,”  reported Lukashenka’s agency. 

On March 11, the Belarusian Defense Ministry said that the inspection of combat readiness was “comprehensive in nature,” and that a number of exercises and live-fire drills were expected. 

This week, Western intelligence agencies confirmed that Russia has transferred tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, according to Foreign Policy. U.S. intelligence sees no evidence that Putin wants to engage in direct military conflict with NATO, but he is using nuclear weapons “to deter Washington and the alliance as a whole from rebuilding its ground forces. The nuclear move is a political signal, say experts interviewed by Foreign Policy.
