Russia's War Against Ukraine

Paul Goble: Why is Belarus conducting military exercises on Ukrainian border?
A picture taken on May 25, 2015 shows Russian military vehicles participating in a drill at the Kuzminsky training ground in the Rostov region, some 50 km from the Russian-Ukrainian border.
Two days ago, the Belarusian armed forces began a command staff exercise in Gomel oblast with the territorial forces of that region to perfect tactics to interdict diversionary forces and illegal armed formations, an action that may have broader implications because these maneuvers are occurring on that country’s border with Ukraine.
