Belarus is drawn into the war against Ukraine
Recall, on March 7, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said that Alexander Lukashenko is trying to justify support for Russian aggression, therefore he accuses Ukraine of blowing up a Russian plane at the Machulishchi airfield.
On March 7, during the ceremony of presenting state awards, the Belarusian leader announced the detention of “a terrorist of the Ukrainian special services and his accomplices” in Belarus. According to him, it was the detainees who were involved in the attack on the Russian AWACS A-50 military aircraft. Lukashenko said that 2 Chinese drones that flew to the airfield were allegedly bought in the United States and sent to Ukraine. He is sure that “a complex special operation using the highest technologies” was carried out in Machulishchi.
However, the dictator did not rest on this. On March 7, Lukashenka called Zelensky “g***y” and said that “the challenge has been thrown.” The self-proclaimed president added that such operations are not carried out without the consent of the army commander in chief.
