Belarusian Deputy Defense Minister Pavel Muraveika said Minsk originally chose to move the joint Russian-Belarusian drills away from the western frontier to ease tensions, but that decision may now be reconsidered.

The Polish Army has confirmed the participation of over 34,000 Polish soldiers. Allies from several NATO countries will also participate in the exercise. Up to 600 pieces of military equipment are expected to be used during "Iron Defender."
