War comes to the territory of Belarus

He did not hesitate to say that missile that fell near Gorbacha village in the Brest region is a Ukrainian missile of the S-300 complex. It is likely that it is so.

The event is very significant: it is the first time in history that missiles explode in Belarus after 1991. This is the first case when, after the invasion of Russian troops from this country into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Ukrainian weapons caused explosions on Belarusian territory.

"For residents of Belarus, this is an important sign that country is moving to the point where explosions on their territory may turn out to be frequent."

For residents of Belarus, this is an important sign that country is moving to the point, when explosions on their territory may turn out to be frequent. After all, until now, airfields and other objects of the country's military infrastructure are directly or indirectly used to launch strikes on the territory of Ukraine. About 10,000 servicemen of the Russian Federation continue to train for war on the territory of the country.

The quagmire of Putin's war is increasingly dragging Belarus, and soon its army and people may find themselves irrevocably involved in hostilities.

Ukraine's "cup of patience" may one day be overflowing.

So far, the Ukrainian military is attacking Engels airfield in the Saratov region, and some objects in the Belgorod, Kursk, and Bryansk regions of Russia.

From Kharkiv region to Engels - about 620 km.

And what about Belarus?

It is about 20 km from the Ukrainian border to the Zyabrovka airfield in the Gomel region. It is within the range of almost all self-propelled guns, towed artillery and MLRS that are in Ukraine.

It is about 135 km from the Ukrainian border to Baranovichi airport. It is about 145 km from Machulyshchi airport (near Minsk). It is within range of drones.

Ukraine has so far refrained from striking these and other objects that Belarus provided to Russia for strikes on civilian infrastructure.
