belarus claims to have detained “Ukrainian terrorist,” confirming recent airfield sabotage

The self-proclaimed president of belarus and putin's war accomplice, aleksandr lukashenko, confirmed the sabotage of the A-50 plane at Machulischi airport and announced the arrest of "a terrorist of the Ukrainian special services, as well as his henchmen."

Belta reports that the belarusian leader is sure that the Security Service of Ukraine and the US CIA were training the "terrorist."

"The Security Service of Ukraine, the leadership of the CIA, either from the side or behind the back, are developing an operation against the republic of belarus. A terrorist was trained. He is russian, with a russian passport and a Ukrainian passport.

Born in Kryvyi Rih, he lived in Crimea. Some relatives are in Austria and some stay in Kyiv. He was recruited by the special service of Ukraine in 2014. He's an IT specialist who is well-versed in IT technologies. I was preparing to commit terrorist acts," Lukashenko said.

The self-proclaimed president also said that during the preparation of the "saboteur," "the highest technologies were used."

"What we saw while implementing the operation in belarus was really something incredible. The highest technologies were involved. He was trained for this for more than one month. After training, he was routed (so the KGB says) to our territory," said Lukashenko.

At the end of February, belarusian partisans reported an attack on a russian A-50 aircraft at Machulischi airfield near Minsk.

belarusian and russian propagandists tried to deny this information, but belarusian partisans showed a video recording of drone reconnaissance around the A-50 aircraft.

After reports of the attack, the russian A-50 returned from belarus to russia yesterday. Probably, the board went to Taganrog for repairs.

The belarusian opposition organization BYPOL took responsibility for the incident. As a result of the explosions, the front and rear parts of the aircraft were damaged. In particular, the avionics and radar antenna was damaged.
