On Friday, Russia and Belarus are set to begin their joint military exercises. Poland announced earlier this week that it will shut down its border with Belarus during the Zapad-2025 drills, calling them “very aggressive”.

According to Muraveiko, during the night of Russia’s drone strikes on Ukraine, Belarusian air defense reportedly “tracked drones that went off course due to electronic warfare systems.” He added that some of the drones were allegedly shot down over Belarusian territory.

Belarus said on Wednesday that it had shot down some drones which went astray due to electronic jamming during an exchange of strikes between Russia and Ukraine, and that Minsk had informed Poland and Lithuania of the approach of the drones.
