Ukraine Dismisses Belarus' 116 Drone Incursion Claims as Absurd

Andrii Demchenko, Ukraine's border guard spokesman, rejected Belarus' allegation that 116 Ukrainian combat drones crossed the border in the past week, calling the accusations another attempt to blame Kyiv.
Belarusian Security Council Secretary Alexander Volfovich had said air defenses detect Ukrainian drone crossings daily and accused Ukraine of trying to strike border infrastructure.
Demchenko challenged why Minsk stayed silent if such incursions were happening so regularly and said Belarus appears to notice only alleged Ukrainian drones, not aircraft entering Ukraine from Belarus.
The exchange keeps attention on Belarus' role on Ukraine's northern flank, where Kyiv says no troop buildup is underway but the threat from Belarus remains.

How will new Russian drone bases in Belarus reshape the war and threaten vital Ukrainian supply lines from the West?

Are Belarus's claims a genuine alarm or a manufactured pretext for a new Russian offensive from the north?
