Last year, the Interior Ministry’s Special Forces took an active part in suppressing peaceful protests

The exercise coincided with the day of adoption of the Declaration on State Sovereignty of the BSSR

Belarusian Interior Minister Ivan Kubrakou has asked the Defence Ministry to place some military forces at their disposal if ‘mass riots’ continue, blogger Stsyapan Putsila reports. His Telegram channel which the Belarusian authorities consider to be ‘extremist’ published a corresponding document signed by Kubrakou.

During Tuesday’s visit to military unit #3214 in Uruchcha near Minsk, incumbent president Alyaksandr Lukashenka got another chance to size the capacities of Belarusian internal security forces.

Most likely, this year the SWAT will get new uniforms.

Sviatlahorsk special police brigade has conducted exercises on the territory of the former airfield near the village of Chyrkavichy. They practiced dispersing the protesters.
