Increasing Russia&#8217;s military presence near the borders of NATO countries is an additional level of psychological pressure. Russia could also create a series of hybrid military provocations to further test NATO&#8217;s collective security capabilities. At the same time, the completion of the formation of a new Russian division near the Lithuanian border (<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/ua\/formuvannia-novoi-dyvizii-rf\/\">in Kaliningrad Oblast where the main strike forces of the 18th Motorized Rifle Division are located<\/a>) indicates that the Kremlin has not abandoned plans to create a buffer zone near the Suwalki Gap. It appears that Russia seeks to create a situation in which it will be possible to introduce its own &#8220;peacekeeping forces&#8221; which will be located in the Suwalki Corridor.<\/p>\n<p>Update: According to <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/By_Pol\/432\">BYPOL<\/a>,\u00a0 during the air landing of the Russian airborne troops in the Hrodna region, Belarus, two paratroopers collided which resulted in the folding of one of the parachutes.

Increasing Russia's military presence near the borders of NATO countries is an additional level of psychological pressure. Russia could also create a series of hybrid military provocations to further test NATO's collective security capabilities. At the same time, the completion of the formation of a new Russian division near the Lithuanian border (<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/ua\/formuvannia-novoi-dyvizii-rf\/\">in Kaliningrad Oblast where the main strike forces of the 18th Motorized Rifle Division are located<\/a>) indicates that the Kremlin has not abandoned plans to create a buffer zone near the Suwalki Gap. It appears that Russia seeks to create a situation in which it will be possible to introduce its own \"peacekeeping forces\" which will be located in the Suwalki Corridor.\r\n\r\nUpdate: According to <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/By_Pol\/432\">BYPOL<\/a>,\u00a0 during the air landing of the Russian airborne troops in the Hrodna region, Belarus, two paratroopers collided which resulted in the folding of one of the parachutes. It is reported that two servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces - an officer and a conscript were killed in the accident.\r\n\r\nRead more from InformNapalm:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/proofs-of-the-russian-aggression-informnapalm-releases-extensive-database-of-evidence\/\">Proofs of the Russian Aggression: InformNapalm releases extensive database of evidence (Updated 04\/22\/2021)<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/32-russian-military-units-invasion-of-crimea\/\">Volunteers gathered evidence of 35 Russian military units\u00a0 taking part in the invasion of\u00a0 Crimea (Updated 11\/23\/2020)<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/advanced-russian-ew-system-navodchik-2-spotted-in-donbas-for-the-first-time\/\">Advanced Russian artillery reconnaissance system Navodchik-2 spotted in Donbas for the first time<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/russia-plans-to-set-up-twenty-new-military-units\/\">By the end of year, Russia plans to set up 20 new military units near its western borders<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/zapad-2021-belarus\/\">Beginning of Zapad-2021 maneuvers and the deployment of Russian Su-30SM fighters to Belarus<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/ukraine-used-bayraktar-tb2-strike-drone-in-war-zone-for-the-first-time-video\/\">Ukraine used Bayraktar TB2 strike drone in war zone for the first time (VIDEO)<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/new-russian-division-formed\/\">A New Russian Mechanized Infantry Division Being Formed Near Belarusian Border<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/thanks-spetsstroy\/\">Thanks to Russian Federal Agency for Special Construction (\u2018Spetsstroy\u2019) for the Master Plan of the Russian Military Facility in Klintsy<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/new-military-unit-of-the-russian-armed-forces-near-the-borders-of-ukraine-and-belarus-intelligence-data\/\">New military unit of the Russian Armed Forces near the borders of Ukraine and Belarus (intelligence data)<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/russian-offensive-forces-near-belarus-and-ukraine-klintsy\/\">Russian offensive forces near Belarus and Ukraine: Klintsy<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h5><img class=\"alignleft lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/InformNapalm_logo_07.png\" width=\"91\" height=\"40\" data-src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/01\/InformNapalm_logo_07.png\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/\">InformNapalm<\/a>\u00a0does not receive any financial support from any country\u2019s government or large donors.
