Ambassador of Ukraine to Belarus

Ihar Kizim

commented on the sabotage in Machulyshche, noting that the special services today are the main voice in Belarusian politics.

Igor Kizim is sure that the events surrounding the incident in Machulyshche will develop as

Lukashenko promised:

"The opposition and partisans exist.

This is true.

If Lukashenka gave the order to search and punish everyone, then everything will be like that," the ambassador noted.

Ambassador Kizim said that Belarusian propaganda usually presents the disclosure of such cases as an achievement of the special services.

Although the films that tell about the details of such "special operations" "do not cause anything but laughter", according to Kizim:

"They must do something, prove their usefulness.

Everything is based on the fact that today the special services have the main voice in Belarusian politics," says Ihar Kizim.

SEE ALSO: In Ukraine, a year after the war with Russia, the number of citizens who consider the Ukrainian language to be their native language has grown significantly.

He frankly admits that he himself is "not impressed with the professionalism of the Belarusian special services."

And here he gives several arguments:

"I will allow myself to go a little to the side.

You know, a strange thing happens.

The Russian plane was damaged during an attack from the territory of Belarus.

In the Chicago Convention, military aircraft have the principle of extraterritoriality - in fact, this aircraft is the territory of Russia, and an attack on the territory of Russia took place from the territory of Belarus.

I am using the logic of the Belarusian leadership here.

And if we take it, then there was no attack from the territory of Ukraine.

And even if it were, then we have every right - we will strike on the territory of Russia," the diplomat noted.

Kizim did not mention whether the representatives of the embassy had the opportunity to meet with

Mykola Shvets

, who is suspected of blowing up the Russian reconnaissance aircraft A-50U .

However, he said that as of today in Belarus, seven citizens of Ukraine have been arrested for espionage and there is no access to them:

"Relatives and we are trying to somehow reach them, but when the KGB started, they don't even let the consul in and appoint their own lawyer, who doesn't say anything," Kizim noted.

SEE ALSO: "They asked how far he could fly, whether he bought additional accessories."

How drone owners are checked after the incident in Machulyshche

On March 7, Lukashenka spoke about the detention of a "terrorist of the Ukrainian special services and his assistants" who were involved in the attempted sabotage of the A-50 aircraft at the airfield in Machulyshchy.

Later that day, state television showed footage of the detention and interrogation of the main suspect, Ukrainian citizen Mykola Shvets.

The man said that he blew up the plane with the help of two drones and worked together with the SBU.
