this CNA Occasional Paper, Konrad Muzyka provides an in-depth assessment of
Russia’s Western Military District, which consists of robust forces spanning
regions including St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kursk, and Kaliningrad. Muzyka’s
analysis provides an up-to-date overview of the current force structure and
posture of this military district, which underwent deep structural reforms
between 2013 and 2019 to better address Western threats. </DIV>
<DIV
style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">These
forces include the 6th and 20th Combined Arms Armies, the 1st Guards Tank Army,
three airborne divisions, the 6th Air and Air Defense Army, and a
self-sufficient force in the Kaliningrad exclave. Muzyka also discusses the
Zapad-17 military exercise, and provides assessments of ongoing modernization in
the district. </DIV></DIV><BR></FONT></DIV>

Network (ELN) is an independent, non-partisan, pan-European network of nearly
300 past, present and future European leaders working to provide practical
real-world solutions to political and security challenges.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face="verdana, helvetica, sans-serif">
<DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The ELN has lent its support to an extended series of detailed senior
expert discussions on how NATO and Russia might reduce the risk of inadvertent
conflict. The experts group has comprised some 30 people including retired
diplomats and military officers from the United States, Russia and
Europe. </DIV>
<DIV>While members of the group differed over the root causes of the current
crisis, they share a common concern that as tension builds between Russia and
NATO, there is a growing danger of a real military confrontation.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The recommendations that have come out of these discussions, signed
by 145 people from 20 countries, call on leaders in the US, Russia and
Europe to demonstrate the political will necessary to take a number of urgent
actions in order to reduce the risks of military
conflict.<BR></DIV></DIV><BR></FONT></DIV></DIV>
