Belarus: Lukashenko checks combat readiness of his army

Belarus has launched a comprehensive review of the combat readiness of its armed forces. The measure was taken on the instructions of President Alexander Lukashenko.

11.10.2025

In Belarus, according to the Ministry of Defense, a review of the combat readiness of the armed forces has begun. The measure was initiated on the instructions of President and Commander-in-Chief Alexander Lukashenko. The aim is to "bring the army to the highest level of operational readiness," it said in a statement published on Saturday.

The ministry said that several units would be "transferred to designated areas" and carry out the measures provided for in the order. No information was given about the scope, troops involved and the duration of the inspection. According to the ministry, the review is supervised by the Secretariat of the Security Council of Belarus. A statement from this body was not initially available.

The Russian news agency Tass confirmed the start of the measure, calling it a "sudden review of the emergency forces". Other Russian and Belarusian state media also reported on the inspection. Independent confirmations from Western or independent sources were not initially available on Sunday morning.

Reactions of neighboring states to military maneuvers by Belarus and Russia
The background is a series of joint military exercises with Russia that took place in Belarus from September 12 to 16 under the name Zapad 2025. According to official information, units from both countries trained defensive scenarios and coordination between the armed forces. Poland had closed several border crossings with Belarus during the exercises as a precaution and increased its military presence in the eastern regions. Lithuania and Latvia also expressed concern about the maneuvers and spoke of a "demonstrative display of power" by Russia and its ally. At the time, the governments of the three Baltic states demanded additional NATO reconnaissance measures along the eastern flank.

Neither the Russian Defense Ministry nor the government in Moscow commented on the current measures. There were also initially no reactions from the neighboring states of Lithuania, Latvia and Poland.
