Trolling of the hundredth level took place and I made a meme and several art images on this topic.
The Ukrainian military dropped potatoes from a drone on the Belarusian border guards. The attack of the Ukrainian drone clearly scared the Belarusian border guards, they opened fire on it from machine guns, but it was not possible to shoot down the Ukrainian UAV. When he approached, the Belarusians ran away, not knowing that they would not be showered with grenades, but ordinary potatoes.
A representative of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, whose name has not been disclosed, told about this in an interview on YouTube channel ISLND TV.
Well done guys! Toss them some ketchup next time.
Let me remind you that it is unspoken, but in fact 100% true: Belarus has been helping Russia in the war against Ukraine from the very beginning:
- From the territory of Belarus, Russian troops attacked the north of Ukraine when they tried to capture Kyiv;
- From the territory of Belarus, Russia launches a significant part of its missile strikes on Ukrain;
- Belarus gave Russia a significant part of its military equipment and ammunition;
- Belarus repairs damaged Russian military equipment.
Taking into account all of the above, it is still surprising (and great nobility on the part of Ukraine) that in the 17th month of the war, we still dropped only potatoes on the Belarusian military.
Perhaps, this long patience happened because Ukrainians actually consider Belarusians to be a truly fraternal people, who under Lukashenko's rule are essentially under Russian occupation.
In the last 30 years, Russian propaganda has "pumped up" the topic of fraternal Slavic peoples a lot. But in fact, here is an interesting fact that people in the West and in the Far East probably do not know: Russians do not understand Ukrainian or Belarusian language at all. On the other hand, Ukrainians and Belarusians perfectly understand each other's language, even if they have not studied it at all. We (that is, Ukrainians and Belarusians) also understand the Polish language well. This shows that if we talk about brotherly Slavic peoples, we should talk about Ukrainians, Belarusians and Poles. And the Poles really showed themselves to be one of the best allies of Ukraine in this war, always being among the top countries that provide the most support to Ukraine. Poles, like Ukrainians, also suffered a lot in the past from Russian aggression.
As for Belarus, the recent trolling with "bombing" potatoes has become a funny and at the same time well-deserved slap.
