BELARUSIAN President Alexander Lukashenko says that Russia is set to deliver modern military hardware to the country as the nations prepare for joint war games exercises later this month.
“Russia in the near future will supply us — I won’t say how much money or what — with dozens of planes, dozens of helicopters, the most important air defence weapons,” he said yesterday.
MARK HAZELDEN criticises the Western narrative that the incident was an escalation of Russia’s confrontation with the West, given that Belarus, a Russian ally, warned Poland of off-course drones, and the drones were unarmed, cheap wooden decoys
