Belarusian Blogger Calls For Monitoring Over West-2017 Exercises

Eduard Palchys calls to record observations over Russian military maneuvers in Belarus by taking photos and making videos.

Blogger and creator of the project 1863x.com Eduard Palchys calls to join the civil campaign for organizing public monitoring over the West-2017exercises. He has posted his call on Facebook.

"All the not indifferent inhabitants of Belarus living in the area of exercises can record everything by taking photos, making videos and writing reports. And then these data can be shared on the Internet under a hashtag or sent to the media. This information will allow specialists to take an unbiased look at what is happening," – Palchys told Belsat.

The blogger suggests using hashtags # West2017, # Zahad2017 and # Zapad2017.

You can also send the information to the Charter97.org website.

This year from September 14 to September 20, the exercises will be held at 6 training ranges: Lepelski, Barysauski, Lasvida (Vitsebsk Region), Asipovichski, Ruzhanski and Damanauski (Brest Region), as well as in one section of the locality near the village of Dretun (30 km from Polatsk). International observers are also invited to attend them.
