In Belarus, ruler Lukashenko is one of the most important supporters of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. Now he is complaining about a violation of airspace.

In Belarus, the rulers Alexander Lukashenko informed about the alleged shooting down of several Ukrainian aircraft targets. The air defense was put on full alert because about ten aircraft from Ukraine entered the airspace of Belarus (formerly Belarus) in the east of the country in the Kostyukovychy region, Lukashenko said on Saturday about the incident the previous evening. “The Armed Forces of Ukraine violated all rules of conduct and violated the airspace of the Republic of Belarus,” Lukashenko said, according to state media.

“We suspect that they were combat drones,” said Lukashenko. Airplanes and a helicopter were also deployed alongside the air defense on the ground. The information could not be independently verified.

The ruler, who is considered the last dictator in Europe, is one of the most important supporters of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. At the beginning of the war almost two and a half years ago, Lukashenko also allowed Russian troops from southern Belarus to invade northern Ukraine.
