Statement by Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Major General Pavel Muraveiko:
During the night-time exchange of strikes by UAVs between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, the Air Defence Forces and assets of the Republic of Belarus on duty continuously tracked UAVs that had lost their track as a result of the impact of the parties' electronic warfare assets.
Some of the lost drones were destroyed by our country's Air Defence Forces over the territory of the republic.
Through existing channels of communication, between 11 p.m. on 9 September and 4 a.m. on 10 September, our forces and equipment on duty exchanged information on the air and radar situation with the forces and equipment on duty in Poland and the Republic of Lithuania. In doing so, they alerted them to the approach of unknown aircraft to their countries' territory.
This allowed the Polish side to respond promptly to the actions of the drones by scrambling their forces on duty.
In fairness, it should be noted that the Polish side also informed the Belarusian forces on duty about the approach of unidentified aircraft from the territory of Ukraine to the border of the Republic of Belarus.
The exchange of information on the air situation is an important component of ensuring security in the region as a whole and contributes to building confidence and strengthening security.
The Republic of Belarus will continue to fulfil its obligations within the framework of the exchange of information on the air situation with the Republic of Poland and the Baltic countries.
