Officially, this might be presented as "strengthening the aviation component of the regional grouping of the forces of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation" according to Belaruski Hajun.

Background: On the afternoon of February 2, Russia and Belarus proclaimed the completion of "flight and tactical exercises of the Union State"

"Even in my worst nightmare, I could never imagine a mobilization for the war in Ukraine," Vishnevsky explained.

Putin called the call-up as a "partial mobilization," but Stronski believes it is considerably bigger.
