"Random start or military provocation": Belarus accused Ukraine of the fall of the C-300 missile (video)

The Belarusian Defense Ministry reported on the successful operation of the air defense systems for the target. The Ukrainian military leadership emphasizes the protection of the airspace from massive missile strikes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The fall of the rocket on December 29 near the village of Gorbakh of the Brest region of Belarus may seem to be a "deliberate provocation of Ukraine".

This was stated on December 30 by a representative of the Ministry of Defense of Belarus, the chief of anti -aircraft missile troops Kirill Kazantsev. "In the Ivanovo district, the means of air defense was affected by the target that flew from the Ukrainian side. The combat calculations worked staff," the military said. Minsk, according to him, remained questions about this incident.

The military-political leadership of Belarus, as Kazantsev said, is considering two versions: Oleg Konovalov, the military of the Brest region, declared the fall of the Ukrainian missile C-300 in the Ivanovo district on December 29. He compared the situation with the incident in the Polish village of Pshevoduv, which resulted in 2 people. "There is absolutely nothing to worry about residents. Unfortunately, such cases are," Konovalov said.

"During the inspection measures, it was previously established that the fragments belong to the anti-aircraft managed missile of the C-300 complex, released from the territory of Ukraine,"-stated in the Ministry of Defense of Belarus. On December 29, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced the right to protect airspace and a willingness to participate in an objective investigation into the fall of the rocket in Belarus. The Ukrainian military does not reject provocations from Russia.
