🚨 Zapad-2025: Drill or Disguise? 🚨

As of August 20, 2025, there is no credible evidence that Belarus has mobilized its military to directly enter the war in Ukraine. But rising tensions surround the upcoming Zapad-2025 joint military exercises with Russia, scheduled for September 12–16, 2025.
👉 What we cover in this video:
• Why Belarus says Zapad-2025 is purely defensive.
• The arrival of Russian troops and equipment in Belarus ahead of the drills.
• Putin’s new Oreshnik hypersonic missile—capable of reaching all of Europe.
• Why Ukraine and NATO fear these exercises could be a cover for escalation.
• Historical precedents: how Russia used “training drills” before invading Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014.
• Why Putin’s track record in peace talks leaves the West deeply skeptical.
⚠️ While Belarus insists this is routine cooperation within the “Union State” framework, the region is on high alert. The world is watching to see if Zapad-2025 remains a drill—or becomes something much bigger.
