In the report, Alexey Avdonin, former chairman of the board of the Belarusian Society - Knowledge, stated that NATO is conducting exercises aimed at capturing Belarus. According to him, NATO military plans in Poland and the Baltic states are intended to carry out an offensive operation against the allied state. He emphasized that these exercises are 'aimed at the rapid capture of Belarus' and that two armies are planned to be assembled near Smolensk to close a ring around the country. Avdonin concluded his report by asserting that Russia and Belarus want to protect their borders from a possible seizure of the 'Belarusian balcony,' which could lead to expanded control over the Kaliningrad region.
