US military officers made a surprise visit to observe joint war games between Russia and Belarus on Monday and were encouraged by Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin to look at “whatever is of interest to you.”

The surprise visit by US officers is seen as the latest sign of warming ties between Washington and Minsk after a series of high-level visits and gestures of goodwill from both sides.

In a video released on Telegram by the Belarusian Defense Ministry, two uniformed US officers thank Khrenin for the invitation in Russian and shake his hand.

They were joined by military-diplomatic missions from 22 other countries, the Belarusians said, including Azerbaijan, Hungary, China, Iran, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Vietnam.

Zapad-2025, the first such exercise to be held since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, involves simulating attacking with and defending against nuclear weapons.

During the exercise, troops will practice planning nuclear strikes against a potential adversary in order to “maintain the credibility” of Russian and Belarusian nuclear deterrent forces, Khrenin told the state-run Belta news agency.
