According to Olenchenko, the reaction of the Belarusian side is “natural and correct”.
“The fact is that on the part of Ukraine, this violation is seen as deliberate.
Most likely, it bears a probing character in the hope that the Belarusians will not attach much importance to this.
This is a well-known military technique in order to weaken attention and accustom to some kind of violations on their part, ”the expert added.
He stressed that the answer must be clear - a violation is a violation.
“The Belarusian side reserves the right to act adequately to the situation in the event of a repeated violation.
I see the full right of the Belarusians to defend their sovereignty, ”the specialist concluded.
Earlier, the representative of the Mozyr border detachment, Sergei Pavlov, said that the Belarusian border guards after the incident with the violation of the state border by Ukraine would act extremely harshly in the event of such cases in the future.
On December 4, Belarusian border guards reported that a Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopter violated the state border with Belarus during an exercise near the Novaya Rudnya checkpoint.
Later, the military attaché at the Ukrainian embassy in the republic was summoned to the department of international military cooperation of the Ministry of Defense of Belarus to hand over a note in connection with this incident.
