Oct 20, 2024

Russian drones continue to fly over Belarus during attacks on Ukraine. It is possible that Russia could carry out a provocation at an oil refinery in Belarus.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Telegram channel of the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCI), Andriy Kovalenko.

According to him, seven Russian drones flew over Belarus on the night of October 18. In September, 30 drones were recorded flying overhead.

Kovalenko added that even a Shahed strike was recorded earlier near Mozyr, where there is an oil refinery.

“Everything is going to the point where Russia will eventually carry out a provocation against Belarus, which could result in both civilians and the refinery itself suffering. And these are deliberate actions of the Russians,” he said.
