The military exercises announced by Russia in October have come to an end 1 week earlier than planned. The exercises, which were supposed to last 20 days, appear to have ended last Friday. They took place in western Russia, less than 100 kilometers from the borders of Latvia and Estonia. The Baltic nations, which placed their armed forces on alert at the beginning the exercises, have confirmed that this will continue as the Russian forces which gathered for the exercises appear to still be in place.
It is unknown whether a second set of joint exercises with the Belorussian armed forces, which were announced for next week, will still go ahead.
