Russia plans military exercises on August 30th

The Russian Defence Ministry has said that early Vostok 2022 exercises will begin from August 30th to September 5th will include troops from 13 East Military District units.

Minstria said that combat planes and long-range bombers will be involved in the exercise, while troops from several undeserved foreign countries will also be present.

Russian and Chinese troops participated in a series of joint military exercises last year, witnessing close military relations between Moscow and Beijing.

The ministry denied claims that it is being mobilised to strengthen its troops in Ukraine, saying that the “only a small part of the Russian Army is involved in special military operation”. /Periscopi/
