Commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, issued a sharp warning to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, cautioning him against aggressive rhetoric toward Ukraine.
"A barking dog doesn't bite, but a bird of prey is different. The first 500 targets are already in our sights. A free and very practical piece of advice: stay out of Ukraine's way," he stressed.
Madyar was reacting to recent Belarusian statements alleging flights of Ukrainian combat drones over Belarusian territory.
Brovdi also commented on remarks made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who, during a conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, said Russia intended to carry out systematic and consistent strikes on Kyiv.
The commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces noted that Russia’s oil industry and military-industrial complex have already felt the consequences of Ukrainian attacks.
According to him, nine out of thirteen Russian oil refining facilities targeted by Ukrainian strikes were hit in May alone.
Belarus recently claimed that "Ukrainian combat drones" were regularly crossing its border and even attempting to attack border infrastructure. Minsk says it recorded 116 such incidents in just one week.
Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation called the claims a provocation serving Russia’s interests, while Ukraine’s Border Guard Service sarcastically noted that Belarusian air defense only 'sees' Ukrainian drones, while failing to detect objects entering Ukraine from Belarus.
