Hungary, Slovakia, and Slovenia held the 12-day-long exercise with some 715 soldiers carrying out more than 40 special operational tasks. The exercise mainly covered military areas, but operations were also carried out in 13 civilian areas.

On May 16, a historic military exercise started in Estonia. Ten countries are taking part, including the USA, the United Kingdom, Finland, and Sweden. 15 thousand soldiers will carry out tasks this week and the next, which is a historic number in the Baltic states, BBC writes. 

Tensions between Moscow and NATO are growing. Finland and Sweden want to join NATO, while Russian troops invaded Ukraine on February 24 to prevent Kyiv’s NATO and EU accession. The Baltic military drill aims to prove that the Baltic states could withstand a Russian attack.
