Gen. Kraszewski: The Polish Armed Forces are monitoring Zapad 17 exercises
Zapad-17 strategic maneuvers are taking place in Belarus, Black Sea, Western Russia and in Kaliningrad Oblast. They gather 12 700 soldiers and 700 equipment units from both countries.
-The Polish Armed Forces have taken appropriate measures aimed to monitor the situation along the borders, especially endangered by provocative activities during such exercises – said Kraszewski.
– We have not observed such cases yet – general pointed.
Kraszewski added that until Zapad 17 are not officially finished and forces taking part in maneuvers get back to their previous locations, „we must not slow down the tempo of monitoring the situation”. „We should not treat those exercises neutrally” – he stressed.
Despite assurances in Minsk and Moscow that Zapad-17 exercises are clearly defensive, they bring a big distress among neighbors, especially in Ukraine which fell prey to russian aggression. Lithuania and Poland also expressed fear in relation to exercises. NATO announced that they will intend to observe them carefully.
Poland announced its willingness to increase its military spendings in the next budget year.
