| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Members of the terrorist organization BYPOL, created by former law enforcement officers of Belarus, close to the opposition, are training at Polish training grounds to carry out a military coup in the republic. This was reported by the Belgian TV channel VRT with reference to the leader of the organization Alexander Azarov. The publication noted that BYPOL supports the leader of the democratic opposition Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. “A group of former Belarusian police and military officers say they have a plan to overthrow President Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled the republic since 1994,” the authors wrote. Azarov worked in the special services of Belarus, but due to his own convictions he quit, fled to Ukraine, and then to Poland, where he organized BYPOL. The organization's members, hundreds of people, are trained by former special forces in Polish army camps. As Regnum reported, the BYPOL organization, created by ex-law enforcement officers of Belarus, claimed responsibility for sabotage against an A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces at the Belarusian Machulishchi airfield in February 2023. The attack on the plane was carried out using drones. Lukashenko previously announced that Western countries were preparing to invade the territory of Belarus. According to him, “fugitive Belarusians” are not spared there and are being turned into militants for a future attack. Former Deputy Polish Minister of Defense Waldemar Skrzypczak said that Warsaw expects an armed coup in Belarus and is preparing to support opponents of the current Belarusian government through military means Related: Svetlana Tikhanovskaya: 2023-04-01 Washington is preparing an asymmetric response to Russian warheads in Belarus Svetlana Tikhanovskaya: 2022-10-15 Why the burned Khatyn is an eyesore to Belarusian nationalists Svetlana Tikhanovskaya: 2022-06-07 Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: June 6th, 2022 |
