Chairman of the State Duma Control Committee Oleg Morozov commented on the attack on the Machulishchi military airfield near Minsk. If information about the involvement of Ukrainian drones is confirmed, the incident can be considered a new stage in the military special operation.
“In this sense, for example, Poland or Slovakia, where the tanks and strike systems supplied to Ukraine are based, is the same ally of Ukraine that Belarus is for Russia. Thus, in a mirror image, military targets on the territories of these countries become legal for our strikes. SO? Or will we still say that “it’s different”? – wrote the parliamentarian on his official Telegram channel.

The day before, the Belarusian opposition Telegram channels had reported an explosion at a military airfield in Machulishchi, from which Russian planes took off. It is assumed that an explosive device was dropped on the Russian A-50 plane. Later, the information was confirmed by the Wargonzo Telegram channel. We are probably talking about drone attacks on military infrastructure, which can be deployed, including objects of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
