"The Zapad-2025 maneuvers continue in accordance with the approved plan. Russian motorized rifle units successfully crossed the Berezina River on BMP-3 armored fighting vehicles. The air cover at the crossing was provided by Belarusian pilots on Mi-35 attack helicopters ... The coordinated actions of the Belarusian and Russian military personnel demonstrated a high level of interaction and coordination between the allied armies," the statement read.
