The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed on Wednesday, January 19, that Russian forces have begun to arrive in Belarus for the first phase of the maneuvers, which will last until February 9. The second phase will run from February 10\u201320. According to open-source reports, Russian troops and hardware have already been spotted within 40 kilometers (25 miles) of the Belarusian border with Ukraine. Taking place against the backdrop of a flurry of diplomatic talks, the military exercises have further stoked international fears that Moscow is planning to launch an attack on Ukraine. Russia\u2019s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov insisted on Wednesday that the drills are not cause for concern. <\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">Russian troops have begun to arrive in Belarus, where they will be taking part in joint military drills over the next few weeks, Interfax reported on Wednesday, January 19, citing the Russian Defense Ministry. The troops are traveling from Russia\u2019s Eastern Military District, along with standard equipment and weapons transported by rail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">The Belarusian Defense Ministry reported the arrival of the first Russian units a day earlier, on Tuesday, January 18, noting that forces will be arriving throughout the entire first phase of the military maneuvers. Dubbed \u201cAllied Resolve \u2014 2022,\u201d the drills will involve two phases, the first of which is already underway and is set to continue until February 9. The second phase is scheduled for February 10\u201320.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"EmbedBlock-module_root__28k9U EmbedBlock-module_cc__1BQ5g EmbedBlock-module_default__LSDny EmbedBlock-module_mobileFullwidth__QFFLH EmbedBlock-module_proportional__3lAv4\"><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_dgOnzmIyj8?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;color=white\"  frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute\"><\/iframe>VoenTV Belarus<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"EmbedBlock-module_root__28k9U EmbedBlock-module_cc__1BQ5g EmbedBlock-module_default__LSDny\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">On Tuesday, Russia\u2019s Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin said that the first phase will focus on assessing the border and air defense capabilities of Russian and Belarusian troops. Fomin also noted that 12 SU-35 fighter jets, two divisions of S-400 air defense systems, and a division of Pantsir-S air defense systems were being transferred to Belarus.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">Open-source investigators from the Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT) reported that judging by photos and videos posted on social media, Russian hardware is being brought to a camp in the immediate vicinity of Belarus\u2019s border with Ukraine. Equipment has been seen near the Rechnitsa station in the Gomel region, which is just over 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the border with Ukraine\u2019s Chernihiv region and 90 kilometers (56 miles) from the Kyiv region. Russian military personnel were also spotted in the area, which isn\u2019t home to any of the training grounds where the military exercises are supposed to take place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"EmbedBlock-module_root__28k9U EmbedBlock-module_cc__1BQ5g EmbedBlock-module_default__LSDny\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"EmbedBlock-module_root__28k9U EmbedBlock-module_cc__1BQ5g EmbedBlock-module_default__LSDny\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">Russia\u2019s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov maintains that the joint military drills shouldn\u2019t cause any concern. \u201cI assure you, there\u2019s no reason to worry about anything in connection with these exercises,\u201d Ryabkov said at the Valdai International Discussion Club on Wednesday, commenting on a White House statement warning that the Russian-Belarusian drills could be preparations for an incursion into Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">On Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that in Washington\u2019s view, Russia could launch an attack on Ukraine \u201cat any point.\u201d \u201cPresident Putin has created this crisis by amassing 100,000 Russian troops along Ukraine&#8217;s borders. This includes moving Russian troops into Belarus, recently, for joint exercises, and conducting additional exercises on Ukraine\u2019s eastern border,\u201d Psaki underscored during a press briefing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">Western media began reporting on a renewed Russian troop buildup along the border with Ukraine in the fall of 2021. The mobilization has stoked international concerns that Moscow is planning to launch another invasion of Ukraine, despite denials from Russian officials. Both the United States and the European Union have promised to impose harsh economic sanctions on Russia in the event of an invasion, including against President Vladimir Putin and top Russian officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"DonatesTeaser-module_title__hs-yr\">Meduza is working for you And we need your support<\/h3>\n<p>Okay!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MaterialNote-module_note_caption__1ezSo\">Story by <strong>Alexander Baklanov<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MaterialNote-module_note_credit__PuFyX\">Translation by <strong>Eilish Hart<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--noindex--><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/meduza.io\/en\/feature\/2022\/01\/19\/allied-resolve-begins\">Source<\/a><!--\/noindex--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cAllied Resolve\u201d joint military exercises between Russia and Belarus are underway.
