National security analytics (July 2018)

The most important events of the month: 03.07.2018 in Minsk, the traditional military parade took place. Last year, to avoid possible political demarches of Western and Ukrainian diplomats, the servicemen of the 76th Russian Airborne Division who participated in the aggression against Ukraine, were not invited to participate in the parade. This year the same Russian paratroopers took part in the parade. Representatives of the diplomatic corps of the Western nations and Ukraine ignored the parade. For the first time, servicemen from China took part in the parade.
