What did late June 2021 show about security?
Summary
A Black Sea exercise and a Polish troop withdrawal marked the final days of June 2021.
What was happening in security as of 1 July 2021? Two developments, reported on 28 and 30 June, stood out.
On 28 June 2021, the Sea Breeze military exercises began in the Black Sea. As reported at the time, they were the largest in the history of the exercises.
On 30 June 2021, the last Polish troops left Afghanistan, ending Poland's involvement in the war there. Around 33,000 Polish troops served in Afghanistan during the war, and 44 were killed in action.
Together, the two reports show military activity in two different theatres. In the Black Sea, a large exercise was under way. In Afghanistan, one country's long deployment came to an end, with a toll of 44 dead among tens of thousands of personnel who had served.
