Summary
A Belarusian court has sentenced 12 individuals to prison terms ranging from two to 25 years for their involvement in a drone attack on a Russian military surveillance aircraft at a military airfield near Minsk in February 2023. The attack was described by Belarusian authorities as an act of terrorism, despite claims from the accused activists that they successfully damaged the aircraft.
The incident arose amidst ongoing tensions surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war, with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko alleging that Ukrainian security services and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency were behind the attack. The main defendant, Ukrainian national Nikolai Shvets, received a 25-year sentence in absentia, while the others were convicted of terrorism and related charges. This case highlights the complex interplay of regional politics, military actions, and the use of drones as a new form of warfare, particularly in the context of the continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
