Drones flew shortly before the common maneuvers of Russia and Belarus
Between Kaliningrad and Belarus, Poland’s border is located to Lithuania, the so-called Suwalki gap. The 65 -kilometer -wide country strip is considered a potential weak point. It is feared that Russia and its ally Belarus will occupy it in the event of the expansion of the Ukraine War and thus cut the supplies over the country to the Baltic States.
Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk believes that Russia and Belarus want to practice this line -up in the upcoming Military Manöver Sapad 2025 (West 2025). The military exercise will take place from Friday to next Tuesday. During this time, Poland announced the closure to the border to Belarus and limits air traffic on its eastern border
