In belarus, the next stage of military trainings has ended. The "meetings" took place against the background of constant exercises and maneuvers, which have been going on almost without interruption since April, when a sudden inspection of the belarusian troops was announced.
During these events, Minsk also actively held military meetings for those who liable for military service, which was considered a factor of preparation for mobilization.

In particular, for the first time in all time, the “meetings” were held in the belarusian special operations forces. They lasted two weeks and, according to the interlocutor of the publication, were rather an experiment. At the same time, part of those called to the “meeting” underwent a change of military accounting specialties.
"It was classic work according to the methods of the USSR - no narrowly focused training was carried out. The only peculiarity of military meetings was that it was necessary to fit into the period of meetings, so we had some moments (for example, fire training) in a tight schedule," said one of those called to this "meeting".
He also noted the low level of preparation for these trainings from the point of view of material support of those called to the “meetings”.
At the same time, another interlocutor said that his "meeting" were held at his place of work - at a large enterprise, where the military came to conduct "classes". This training was more reminiscent of a several-day "conference" with speeches by “political officers”.
For reference:
A political officer or political commissar is a supervisory officer in former soviet army responsible for the political education (ideology) and organization of the unit to which they are assigned, with the intention of ensuring political control of the military.
At the same time, it should be noted that both conscripts reported that they were warned that mass training should take place at the end of November - beginning of December. All these “meetigs” are only preparations for these mass exercises. The participants of the "meetings" were also warned that "no one should hide from the planned exercises."
