Ukraine says Russia operates Iranian drones from Brest region
November 3, BPN. A senior Ukrainian military official has accused Russia of deploying Iranian drones near Łuniniec in the Brest region.
“Belarusian territory continues to be used by the aggressor to launch missile attacks on the territory of Ukraine,” Brig Gen Oleksiy Gromov told a briefing in Kyiv.
“A special role here is given to the air base near the town of Łuniniec, Brest region, where Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as a certain number of their operators, are stationed,” he added.
Russia used Belarus as staging ground for its February invasion of Ukraine, and later repeatedly relied on it for strikes on Ukrainian territory, officials in Kyiv said.
Belarus denied involvement of its units in the war, but conducted multiple military drills, and is setting up a joint regional group of troops with Russia.
The group may serve to distract Ukrainian troops from fighting in the east and south, Gromov said, noting that the capability for aggression can be built in the long run.
