Europe on edge as Putin’s forces gather for huge Zapad 2025 war games feared to be potential rehearsal of invasion as UN security council holds emergency meeting following Poland drone ‘attack’
Europe is holding it’s breath right now, and so is NATO, as together they watch a very energized Russia getting ready for their anti-West war games held every four years known as Zapad. Putin sent up a trial balloon earlier this week by launching a fleet of drones over Poland which, of course, were shot down by the Polish army. Russia is threatening war, and Europe believes him. Wars and rumours of wars everywhere you look, welcome to Zapad 2025 that starts today. That’s the memo.
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6 (KJB)
Vladimir Putin could have easily won his war with Ukraine, years ago, but that was never his goal. His goal has always been to use the conflict with Ukraine as the bait on the hook to lure NATO into WWIII. While all the other nations, including the United States, plays the ‘short game’, reacting to every nuance, Putin is playing the steely-cold long game, and it is serving him well. If you have ever studied WWI and WWII from a biblical perspective, then you know why WWIII must come. The word ‘Zapad’ means ‘West’, as in the western nations of Europe and the United States. So the ‘Zapad 2025 War Games’ is preparation for war against the West. This is what Russia and Belarus are preparing for, and it’s right in front of your face, clear as day. WWIII is right around the corner.
NATO’s eastern flank is preparing for Russian war games on its border – with Europe still on high alert from an unprecedented intrusion of drones this week.
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The Kremlin will hold its sabre-rattling Zapad 2025 exercises with Belarus near Poland and Lithuania from Friday until next Tuesday, September 16. The drills come around roughly every four years. The last, in 2021, led to a massive buildup of forces in Belarus that were used to attack Ukraine several months later.
A former NATO official warned this year’s drills ‘could serve as a cover’ for a military build-up, with tens of thousands of troops expected to attend.
Germany’s chief of defence Carsten Breuer said that NATO would ‘be on our guard’ around the drills as NATO chief Mark Rutte said Russia was rapidly rearming. Rutte warned that coordinated attacks from Russia in Europe and China in Asia could trigger World War Three, Putin distracting NATO with an assault in Europe.
Zapad – meaning ‘West’ – is formally a defensive drill. Troops are expected to prepare repelling an attack, including airstrikes and sabotage, per official reports.
But Russia is expected to bring potentially tens of thousands of troops to rehearse, among other things, using its new nuclear-capable missile on Europe’s frontier.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk closed the border with Belarus over the ‘very aggressive’ nuclear drills. Some will take place just a few miles from NATO borders. Poland is still scrambling to respond to an incursion of 19 Russian drones that crossed over into its airspace overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tusk invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty for the 8th time since NATO’s inception on Wednesday.
It serves as a starting point for major operations and will pave the way for consultations around the perceived threat to territory, independence or security. The U.N. Security Council will also hold an emergency meeting at Poland’s request to discuss the drone incursion, the Polish Foreign Ministry said on Thursday. READ MORE
Zapad 2025 Exercises: Poland Closes Border, Shoots Down Russian Drones
Poland is closing its border with Belarus at midnight on Thursday in response to the Russian-Belarusian “Zapad-2025” military exercises, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced. The drills, starting Friday in western Russia and Belarus, involve tens of thousands of troops and include simulations of nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile use. The move comes amid escalating tensions, with Belarus condemning the closure and Lithuania strengthening its border security. Poland has also engaged Russian drones violating its airspace, marking the first direct involvement of Polish and NATO forces. Airports were temporarily closed and debris from downed drones was reported in eastern Poland. NATO and EU officials are monitoring the situation closely as Europe braces for further provocations.
