State Border Guard Service spokesman Andriy Demchenko said that no Belarusian drones had flown into Ukraine. The situation on the border with Belarus remains under control, and no unusual situations have been reported.

No unusual situations have been recorded on the border with Belarus. Belarusian drones did not violate the airspace of Ukraine. This was announced by the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko, during a telethon, an UNN correspondent reports.

Demchenko noted that Russian drones can fly into the territory of Belarus, and then Belarus keeps quiet about it. He noted that Belarus claimed that Ukrainian drones were flying into its  territory and used such accusations to allegedly build up its forces along the border.

Prior to that, Belarus actively pointed out that it was Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles that allegedly flew into Belarus, and this posed a threat, and they began to build up their forces along the border with Ukraine. However, we do not record any other unusual situations directly along the border with Belarus, such as Belarusian unmanned aerial vehicles flying into our country
