Moscow. December 1st. INTERFAX - The army corps stationed in the Kaliningrad region is conducting training of motorized rifle and tank regiments with the withdrawal of more than 1 thousand servicemen to the training grounds, the press service of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Federation reported on Wednesday.

According to the military, for the rest of the units, winter training sessions will begin at permanent deployment points.

The recent reinforcement of the army corps by a new motorized rifle division was officially reported. The Russian military stated that the division was being formed in response to the growth of NATO activity near the Russian borders.
