Belarus to Check Army Readiness, Including Mobilization

In September 2026, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said the country will continue checks of its military's readiness, including mobilization. He also said Belarus has learned to produce modern communications equipment for its military and stressed that falling behind in this area would be unacceptable.

Lukashenko said Belarus does not plan to attack anyone, but must ensure its own security. He added that attacking neighbors would be "tantamount to death."
