Russia intends to create 20 new regiments in the Western Military District, which borders Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States and Finland, said Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu.
According to Shoygu, Russia is improving the combat composition of its troops because NATO countries led by the United States destroy the security system in the world. Shoygu said tat by the end of 2021 about 20 regiments and military units will be created in the Western Military District.
The minister added that these actions are being carried out in parallel with the supply of modern weapons and military equipment to the Russian army. Shoygu also drew attention to the fact that the Russian army is constantly improving the preparedness of personnel and military administration.

The Israeli security held an emergency meeting on Tuesday evening to discuss “a sensitive security matter” related to a humanitarian issue in Syria, The Times of Israel reported.
In recent days, senior Israeli officials have been speaking with their Russian counterparts on the matter, but no details have been disclosed to the public.
Last week, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a phone conversation about the issue, as did Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu.
A diplomatic reporter for Channel 12 notes that Russia “has influence in Syria” and “it may be that this, too, relates to Russian influence in the Middle East.”
