The President of Belarus Alexander Łukaszenko referred to the recent statements of NATO representatives who suggested the possibility of shooting Russian or Belarusian aircraft in the event of a violation of the airspace of the North Atlantic Alliance countries.
The answer will come immediately
– announced Aleksander Łukaszenko quoted by the state Russian agency TASS.
You can speak publicly and do different things. (…) Let's say that I often fly to the Białowieża Forest – it's right at the border with Poland. Will they shoot the president's helicopter or some military escort helicopter?
– continued the President of Belarus.

Aleksander Łukaszenko, according to Russian and Belarusian propaganda, stated that NATO Member States threaten their citizens with these two countries.
Let them try, let them shoot. Or something Russian will shoot over Kaliningrad. Then, of course, we will have to fight, as it is said in Russia, at all. Is it necessary? NO
He added.
NATO consider shooting down Belarusian aircraft. Belarus reacts and talks about Poland
Later in his speech, Alexander Łukaszenko reminded how recently his country has survived in relation to Poland. And these are the events of the beginning of September this year, when Russian drones violated the Polish airspace and were shot down. Belarus claimed that she had warned our country. The Chief of General Staff of General Wiesław Kukuła confirmed that it was actually so. As he said, Belarus reported that Poland could violate the airspace.
So they will shine our or Russian aircraft or helicopters? I think this is an ill -considered and stupid declaration. You can't do that, the neighbors don't behave like that
At the end, Aleksander Łukaszenko added.
