Abstract:

By organising military exercises in April this year and signalling its readiness to attack Ukraine, Russia wanted to force it to return to talks under the Normandy process and, at the same time, check the reaction of Western countries, especially the U.S. In the military dimension, the exercises were an important element of testing the state of the Russian armed forces' combat readiness in the western strategic direction, the next stage of which will be September's Zapad drills. Despite the withdrawal of most of the Russian units to permanent dislocation sites, the tense situation in the region will remain.
