"Russia is likely to carry out a provocation against Belarus": NSDC on the "Shahed" drone incursions

In the situation involving the incursions of "Shahed" drones into Belarus, it appears that Russia is indeed preparing to provoke this country.

This was stated by Andriy Kovalенко, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at Ukraine's NSDC.

He says that during the night, seven Russian drones flew over Belarus. In September, 30 drones entered the country. There was even a reported strike by a "Shahed" near Mozyr, where an oil refinery is located.

"It is clear that Russia is likely to carry out a provocation against Belarus, as a result of which both civilians and the refinery itself could be affected. These are deliberate actions by the Russians," Kovalенко emphasized.
