MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russian and Belarusian paratroopers will take part in two major military drills this month, the Russian Defense Ministry said Tuesday.

During the scheduled war games, paratroopers will practice joint actions to defend the borders of the so-called Union State, which the two allied neighbors agreed in the 1990s.
According to the ministry’s figures, Russia and Belarus increased by a third the number of joint exercises their paratroopers and special operations forces have held since last year to 38.
