Lukashenko burst out with baseless threats against Ukraine
In particular, the Belarusian dictator absurdly stated that Ukrainian drones were allegedly shot down in Belarusian airspace.
According to Lukashenka, on the evening of August 9, the Air Force and Air Defense Forces of Belarus were allegedly put on high alert.
The Belarusian dictator declares that about 10 Ukrainian drones were recorded in the airspace of Belarus.
He stated that allegedly at 19:04 at an altitude of one and a half kilometers, air defense forces "destroyed several targets" over the territory of Belarus.
At night and from morning there is a search for what was destroyed. We suspect these are strike drones. Violating the airspace of Belarus, they flew from Ukraine, - the Belarusian dictator cynically lies.
He stated that the Belarusian air defense forces allegedly destroyed half of the drones, and the other half were neutralized by the troops of the occupying army of the Russian Federation.
According to Lukashenko, the drones initially allegedly flew to Smolensk, but then changed their flight path and headed for the Yaroslavl region and were already intercepted by Russian anti-aircraft systems.
At the same time, Lukashenko threatened, saying that "any provocations will not go unanswered."
