MOSCOW, 14 March (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko shared insider information about a Russian attack via a pipeline in an interview with Olga Skabeyeva, a TV presenter of the TV channel Rossiya 1, BelTA has learned.
During the conversation the head of state remarked that as part of the conflict of Russia and Ukraine people, who went to the same military academies, are often pitted against one another on different sides of the frontline.
“Well, according to Operation Pipe, our academies are better. [The operation was] brilliant,” Olga Skabeyeva opined.
“Not the academy but your people turned out to be stronger,” the president stressed in response to the TV presenter’s remark. “I can’t believe it! I think they had to crawl for 15 kilometers and 40 meters. A huge number of troops disembarked behind enemy lines and so productively: over 600 best trained men. They attacked instantaneously.”
During the conversation the head of state revealed some details of the operation. In particular, he noted that Ukrainian drone operators were the first ones to flee when Russian military personnel suddenly resurfaced in Sudzha.
“Primarily those, who control unmanned aerial vehicles, fled. And it is the main weapon in Ukraine today,” Aleksandr Lukashenko noted. As a result the remaining Ukrainian army forces were disoriented, could not coordinate, did not have reconnaissance data, and were deprived of fire support in the form of strike drones. “Drones did not work. Strike drones did not work. They [drone operators] were the first ones to flee. Here is insider information for you. They were the first ones to flee,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
The president spoke highly of professional qualities of the Russian specialists, who had planned and executed this operation.
“Guys fighting at the frontline do wonders on one side and the other one,” Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed out. “They manually make drones that a factory cannot make. Genuine inventors on both sides.”
