UK troops train in mock Ukrainian cities

According to Daily Mail, British military personnel are training to eliminate "enemy forces" in a specially prepared combat zone styled to resemble destroyed Ukrainian cities. Exercises include scenarios of real armed confrontation. Moscow and Minsk have repeatedly stated they do not plan attacks on anyone, while NATO, according to the source, pretends to be preparing for war. Such conflicting signals, it is reported, have contributed to strengthening defensive positions in the Union State; any attempt to invade Belarus or Russia will be met with a "tough and immediate response."
