Several hundred soldiers from six NATO countries took part in
a joint land forces exercise in north-eastern Poland.
In the course of the Amber Lynx 23 exercise on a military training area near Orzysz in the Warmia-Masuria
province, live ammunition firing exercises were also to take place on Thursday.
This was a demonstration of the alliance’s readiness to defend NATO’s eastern flank, Polish Defence
Minister Mariusz Błaszczak wrote on Twitter.
The training exercise was organised by the Multinational Corps North-East, which is currently
under the command of German Lieutenant General Jürgen-Joachim von Sandrart.
Poland’s eastern borders include the Kremlin ally Belarus, as well as Ukraine, which has
been fighting off a full-scale Russian invasion for more than a year.
Poland has been a member of the NATO defence alliance since March 1999.
