"Regarding Putin's meetings in Belarus, they don't really mean much, because Belarus still doesn't have a full-fledged army. If we talk about the quality of fighters, the maximum there are former nightclub security guards. Yes, they have a few good soldiers, but it's nothing compared to the number of soldiers that Western countries have, in particular Poland, Lithuania, not to mention the troops behind them in Sweden and Finland", commented a retired colonel of the British army.

According to him, Belarus is not a serious player in this game, and if they are really thinking about crossing the Suvali corridor, they will have a hard time because it is an extremely difficult piece of land.

"I have written and spoken about this many times. It's very simple, if Belarus decides to do this, it will automatically involve itself in a war. And then what? Especially given the geographical location of Belarus, which is surrounded by both NATO and Ukraine. To get out of the Suvalsky Corridor, the Russians would need every soldier there is. A U.S. brigade would simply come in from behind, close the port, and seize all air defenses. Therefore, Russia does not have enough troops to raise the stakes right now", Glenn Grant emphasized.

• On March 29, the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry called the Charge d'Affaires of Belarus, Yaroslav Khmil and handed him a note of protest. The reason for the protest was the recently published conversation between Lukashenko and a high-ranking military officer of Belarus, in which unfounded accusations of military threats to Belarus, allegedly coming from Lithuania, were made. Also, during the conversation there were statements  insinuations about the insecurity of the Suwałki Corridor  and instructions were given to prepare the Belarusian army for a possible confrontation with the Baltic States and Poland.

• April 21 in the Suva Corridor, a joint Lithuanian-Polish tactical exercise with the Brave Griffin 24/II aviation element was held with the participation of the United States and Portugal.
