The Belarusian government is struggling to thwart an internal guerrilla group that opposes Minsk’s assistance to Russia and has engaged in a sabotage campaign since the war in Ukraine kicked off.
Earlier this week, opposition activists from the Association of Security Forces of Belarus (BYPOL), a group formed following the 2020 political turmoil in Belarus, attacked a Russian warplane outside the capital city using drones.
"Belarusians will not allow the Russians to freely use our territory for the war with Ukraine, and we want to force them to leave," one retired Belarusian serviceman, who joined a group of saboteurs and goes by the name Anton, told The Associated Press in a report Friday.
Russia has also frequently relied on Belarusian airspace to launch missiles at Ukraine.
Lukashenko’s positive feelings toward Putin’s war effort are not necessarily widely shared.
The sabotage group has been sporadically attacking Belarusian train systems since the war began in an effort to block Russian supplies from reaching its troop on the southern border.
Lukashenko also claimed earlier this week to have found the culprits behind a drone strike that hit a Russian Beriev A-50, which apparently had to be returned to Russia for repairs.
The authoritarian president claimed that one Ukrainian saboteur and more than 20 accomplices were detained following the strike, though the Belarusian saboteurs on Friday said otherwise.
"We are not familiar with the person Lukashenko talked about," BYPOL leader Aliaksandr Azarau said, adding that the people involved in the attack were able to successfully flee the country.

Lukashenko and the Belarusians know how to deal with Western color revolutions now...
LOL, this will be the end of Russia for sure this time!
“Lukashenko and the Belarusians know how to deal with Western color revolutions now...”
Lukashenko got a ‘close up and personal look’ at how they operate. These people will be lucky if they ever see anything other than Siberia in their now-shortened lives.
Lukashenko is not in a position to have Belarus join the war. If he did, and sent his army, he would be left undefended at home.
I believe he knows this perfectly well, He needs to keep all his men in Belarus to defend his government.
We should have dealt with our color revolution (the Summer of Mostly Peaceful Rioting in 2020) with bullets.
I wonder if Belarus will put the Executions on Pay Per View?
They could make a fortune on Uke Resources, it's usually the other way around.
Werewolves.
And he saw what happened to Qadaffai during the Arab Spring.
It’s said Russian forces are in Belarus for an attack on Ukraine. But Ukraine probably knows they are tied down there keeping Belarus in check.
PING!!!!!!!
Darn shame.
Nailed it...
