Poland Rejects Airspace Violation Claim, Warsaw Says CSTO Drills Aimed At Destabilising Region

Poland on Friday denied a military helicopter had breached Belarus's airspace, calling Minsk's claims “lies and provocations“ at a time of escalating tensions between the neighbours. Relations between Minsk and Warsaw, frozen for years, have hit new lows since Belarus strongman Alexander Lukashenko allowed Moscow to use his country to attack Ukraine. Belarus said the incident took place over the Grodno region on the border, which stretches for roughly 400 kilometres (about 250 miles). “These are lies and provocations from the Belarusian side,“ said Jacek Goryszewski, spokesman for the operational command of Poland's armed forces. “There was definitely no such violation. That is according to the pilot's dispatches and the radar system records,“ he told AFP. #poland #belarus #lukashenko #warsaw #minsk #wagner #russiaukrainewar #russia #ukraine n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 2:38 “RUSSIA-LED DRILLS IN BELARUS TO DESTABILISE
