The Ministry of Defense in Belarus also highlighted that the transportation of military equipment might lead to temporary restrictions on civilian transport.

In recent times, particularly after the onset of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Belarus has been the site of regular military exercises. A “comprehensive combat readiness test” was previously reported in October 2023.
