Lukashenko's Secret Bases: Mapping Military Sites In Belarus
After Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Belarus began actively expanding its military infrastructure.

Using satellite imagery, RFE/RL's Belarus Service shows how the country’s military sites have changed ahead of this year’s Zapad-2025 exercises with Russia -- the first time the joint drills are being conducted since the invasion.
