According to the telegram channel of the Belarusian Railway, belzhd_live, a huge number of military trains with Russian equipment and soldiers – many times more than during the “Zapad 2021” exercise – is arriving in Belarus. There is no confirmation of this information from other sources yet.

According to belzhd_live, according to the schedule of military trains, the total number of trains, which will arrive in Belarus, is 200. This is a high figure, notes the telegram channel: for example, only 29 military trains arrived in Belarus during the exercise “Zapad 2021”.

Belzhd_live reports that 33 military trains from Russia have already arrived in Belarus to participate in the “Union State” drill from January 16 to 21.

The average number of cars in the echelons is 50, including passenger cars, covered wagons (together with the label VM – Hazard Class 1 explosive material and covered wagons converted to transport people), platforms for transporting equipment, and cover wagons.

There is no confirmation of the information from other sources yet.

On January 17, Alyaksandr Lukashenka approved the plan for the operational Belarusian-Russian exercise “Union Commitment 2022”. They are to take place on February 10-20 on the southern and western borders of Belarus. Military units of the Eastern Military District are being relocated to Belarus from the Far East. However, it is still unknown how many Russian servicemen will arrive in Belarus to participate in the drill.

The U.S. State Department believes that the joint exercises of Belarus and Russia can be used to attack Ukraine from the north. Kyiv states that the redeployment of Russian troops to Belarus indicates an increase in the level of military threat from the Belarusian direction.
