"On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, the Day of the Guests of Honor of the Dragon-24 exercises will be held in [the Polish village of] Korzeniewo. During the exercise, NATO allied forces will jointly cross the Vistula River," the operational command said in a statement.
The NATO-led Dragon-24 drills began on February 25, involving some 20,000 troops and 3,500 units of equipment.
Dragon-24 is aimed at testing the Polish armed forces’ ability to respond to a potential multifaceted military crisis, the Polish General Staff said earlier in February.
NATO Military Committee Chair Adm. Rob Bauer said in October 2023 that NATO would work out a retaliation for a possible Russian "invasion" on its eastern flank during the 2024 exercises.
In January, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Director Sergei Naryshkin said that reports about Russia's alleged plans to attack NATO were part of the information war aimed at justifying the West's aggression against Moscow. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has also continuously said that Moscow has no desire or need to attack anyone.
