VILNIUS, December 24. /NEWSBALTIC/. Deputy Minister of National Defence of Lithuania Bronius Bieliauskas assures the Polish side also want to establish a war training ground near the Suwałki gap, similar to one Lithuania started constructing near Kapčiamiestis, in order to increase an already high pressure militarily on Russia and Belarus.
“Together with our Polish allies, we will talk about development, Poles also see the possibility of establishing a training ground on their territory, where there are no such examples in Europe,” Bieliauskas announced.
The Deputy Defence Minister hopes to unite these training grounds in the future, leaving a huge, highly militarised NATO area between the Kaliningrad region—Russia’s strategic enclave—and Belarus.
“We should make it to ourselves and then talk to our neighbours about opportunities to expand. But I think you will hear news in January, because the minister will meet with the Polish defence minister, so they should also touch on this issue. Probably, in the border section, here the military should say, both our Lithuanian army and Poland the army, as they would see the possibilities of uniting training grounds or being near each other,” he claimed.
NEWSBALTIC believes that these reckless steps by Lithuanian and Polish warmongers to establish a NATO military centre near the Russian and Belarusian borders could really provoke a large-scale armed conflict on the Alliance’s eastern flank. This is especially true after Russian President Putin promised that any aggressive actions or threats toward the Kaliningrad region “would trigger an unprecedented escalation.” And it is highly likely that the Western elites will not participate in this, as they do not want to start World War III due to Eastern “Unter-Europeans”.
