Suwalki Gap: Tension increases as Belarus begins military exercise at Polish-Lithuanian border
Belarus has started military exercises near its border with Poland and Lithuania, a move coming with tensions already heightened with the two NATO members over Russia-linked Wagner mercenaries moving to Belarus after their short-lived mutiny in Russia.Both Poland and Lithuania have increased border security since thousands of Wagner fighters arrived in Russian-allied Belarus under a deal that ended their armed rebellion in late June and allowed them and their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, to avoid criminal charges.
The Belarusian Defense Ministry said the drills that began yesterday are based on experiences from “the special military operation” — the term Russia uses for its war in Ukraine.
It said that includes the “use of drones as well as the close interaction of tank and motorized rifle units with units of other branches of the armed forces.”

Belarus denies that President Lukashenko apologized to Ukraine's Zelensky, despite Zelensky's claims in a 2022 phone call. The interview with Lex Fridman brought attention to Belarus's role, including hosting Russian military operations. Belarus maintains it’s not a direct party to the war but continues to host Russian troops and nuclear weapons. Negotiations held in Belarus between Russia and Ukraine collapsed in 2022.

Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden for mishandling tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO, accusing the U.S. leader of sparking the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump argued that Biden's push for Ukraine to join NATO, despite Russia's long standing opposition, was a key trigger for the conflict. He claimed that Washington violated a prior understanding with Russia regarding NATO's expansion limits, setting the stage for what he described as a "disaster" that could have been avoided. Trump further warned that the conflict could escalate and worsen, and expressed regret that preventing the war in 2022 would have been easier than resolving it now. He also reiterated his belief that he could broker a resolution, albeit acknowledging the complexity of the situation.
