Belarus reported 116 attempted attacks from Ukraine over the past week
Belarus has accused Ukraine of allegedly numerous attempts to launch drone attacks. According to Belarusian official Volfovich, Ukrainian drones allegedly attempted to strike border infrastructure 116 times in one week. The Ukrainian side has not yet commented on these statements.
Belarus has reported alleged regular drone attack attempts from Ukraine. These accusations were made by Alexander Volfovich, State Secretary of the Belarusian Security Council, during a meeting of the CSTO Security Councils’ Secretaries Committee in Moscow.
According to Volfovich, Belarusian air defense forces allegedly detect Ukrainian combat drones crossing the border on a daily basis.
“In some cases, these are not random attacks, but attempts to strike elements of border infrastructure, disguised as supposedly accidental incursions,” he stated.
The Belarusian official claims that in the past week alone, “116 Ukrainian UAVs” were allegedly detected in the country’s airspace. According to him, air defense forces on duty took countermeasures against the drones “59 times.”
In addition, Volfovich accused Ukraine of mining border areas and conducting active reconnaissance of Belarusian territory.
Minsk also claims that Ukrainian border training grounds are allegedly “practicing the use of strike UAVs, as well as the storming and seizure of buildings.”
Earlier, on March 26, the U.S. lifted sanctions against the Belarusian Ministry of Finance, the Development Bank, and the company “Belaruskali,” as well as a number of related entities.
Recall that Lukashenkoannounced a “major deal” with the U.S. at Trump’s suggestion.
