MINSK, 18 June (BelTA) - Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has commented on the drone attack on a bus carrying Belarusian citizens, which occurred in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast on 17 June, BelTA has learned.
The head of state made the corresponding remarks while hearing a scheduled report on proposals to adjust the plan for the construction and development of the Armed Forces for 2026-2030.
“I have warned more than once that war today is not somewhere far away, and you know this even better than I do in certain areas. It is right beyond our fence, and sometimes even closer,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “This is evidenced by various kinds of provocations. And not just provocations, but direct violations of agreements and the conduct of certain states during wartime. For example, the attack on a dormitory in Starobelsk, which resulted in the deaths of people, including children and the drone strike on our bus in Bryansk Oblast. As military people, we must understand all aspects.”
“This is yet another act of banditry. And this is not even a terrorist act: this is open fascism, when they strike at children,” the Belarusian leader emphasized.
