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”.

Poland has banned drone flights and introduced restrictions affecting mostly small, non-commercial air traffic along its eastern borders with Belarus and Ukraine following this week's drone incursions into its airspace.

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.
