Belarus Calls out Poland Again! Alleged Airspace Violation Sparks Tensions Amidst Russia-Ukraine Crisis
Belarus summons Polish envoy over alleged airspace violation, demanding investigation as tensions rise due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Relationship strained by repeated incidents.
Belarus has summoned the Polish charge d'affaires, Marcin Wojciechowski, over yet another alleged violation of its airspace. The incident is said to have occurred on November 2, but no specific details were provided by Belarus. The country has called on Poland to thoroughly investigate the incident and take steps to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Poland, however, claims that it has no record of any airspace violation and is currently analyzing the information provided by Belarus.
This is not the first time such an incident has occurred, as in late September, Belarus also summoned Wojciechowski over a claim of a Polish helicopter violating its airspace. Tensions between the two neighbors have been exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a key ally of Belarus. These ongoing airspace violations are further straining their already fragile relationship.
