July 16, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Maj. Gen. Valeryj Ravienka of Belarus\u2019 defense ministry has described Warsaw’s response to Minsk’s proposal on verification-related talks as “formalistic” rather than a real intention to restore good-neighborly relations, the ministry\u2019s press office reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comment is linked to Minsk\u2019s proposal that the countries\u2019 verification agencies hold talks via telephone or video link, made on June 16, and Warsaw\u2019s reply received a month later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian side reportedly sought direct contacts between military officials both in Belarus and Poland as well as in third countries. Minsk also affirmed readiness \u201cto conduct mutual verification activities in the framework of the existing agreements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian general, in his comment, made an erroneous claim that tensions in Eastern Europe rises due Poland\u2019s militarization and frequent military drills, also the real source of tension is Russia\u2019s war of aggression against Ukraine that prompted NATO to beef up its eastern flank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ravienka also accused Poland of \u201cfollowing the instructions of those benefiting from the unleashing of a new military conflict in Europe,\u201d which, in his opinion, may take place in Belarus and Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian authorities regularly accuse the neighboring European Union countries of militarization and unwillingness to cooperate with Belarus, whose government fully supports Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus plans to host a large-scale exercise involving thousands of Russian troops in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite Belarus\u2019 involvement in this conflict, which Warsaw sees as a direct threat, Ravienka urged Poland in February to let Belarusian military inspectors visit the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minsk is ready for \u201ca negotiation processes,\u201d visits to military units, information exchange and reciprocal inspections both in Belarus and Poland up to 80 kilometers deep from the shared border, he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would enable Belarus to ascertain Poland\u2019s peaceful aspirations, find compromises, establish good neighborly relations and make sure that Poland does not build up forces for an attack on the Union State of Belarus and Russia, Ravienka said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
