Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko is allowing Russia
to use Belarusian territory to attack Ukraine with Shahed drones, Robert
“Magyar” Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, wrote on Facebook.
Magyar said Shahed drones enter Ukrainian airspace through
“corridors” in Belarus.
“Minsk gauleiter Lukashesku! We are tracking every single
Shahed that uses Belarusian corridors to head toward Ukraine, every
military-tinged move and twitch of yours,” Magyar wrote.
He said that despite lies about “neutrality” in the war,
Lukashenko is directly involved in the killing of Ukrainian civilians. Magyar
hinted at retaliation for aiding Moscow.
During Russia’s mass Shahed drone attack on Ukraine on May
13, Russian forces used the territory of Belarus and Moldova to fly attack
UAVs, Ukraine’s Air Force said.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Moscow has intensified
efforts to drag Belarus into the war.
