On the morning of December 29, many mass media reported on the possible fall of a missile from the S-300 complex in the village of Garbaha, Yanau district.

Telegram "Pool of the First" has already responded that a Ukrainian missile has fallen.

Svoboda asked the Ukrainian military expert

Oleg Zhdanov

about whether this could actually happen and what consequences it could have.

"I think it is impossible that a Ukrainian missile flew into the territory of Belarus.

There have been no recent flights from Belarus to Ukraine.

There was simply no reason for our air defense to shoot in the direction of Belarus to shoot down missiles.

And we don't have missile forces a priori, so I don't know what could have flown there," says Zhdanov.

He believes that this incident is more like a provocation.

"Moreover, perhaps the attack is not even from Belarus, but from the Russian Federation."

Oleg Zhdanov confirms that S-300 missiles are in service with both Ukraine and Belarus with Russia.

Moreover, the settings are the same in all countries.

It is quite easy to determine whose rocket it was.

"It is only necessary to find a fragment of a rocket with a serial number.

And then it will immediately become clear where this missile was launched, in what year, and in which military unit it was.

If the rocket fell, then show its serial number and that's it," says Zhdanov.

The expert does not rule out that this could be a provocation aimed at involving Belarus in the war in Ukraine.

"Last week, we had information that fighters from the private military company "Wagner" had arrived in Belarus.

It is quite possible that they are preparing a war under a foreign flag in order to maximally involve Belarus in the war on the side of Russia."

Nevertheless, the analyst believes that all this will most likely end with only political statements from Lukashenka's side, but with the use of force.

"Given the capabilities of the KGB of Belarus, I am sure that Lukashenka knows exactly whose rocket it is and who launched it," sums up Oleg Zhdanov.
