Effectively, Belarus threatens Ukraine and the EU with war

Now I understand. You meant that in the context of war against the EU.
Well, it is not the Polish border but the Belarusian threat included Ukraine as well.
I meant it in the context of war against NATO. To see what all those 'war-mongers' here would scream, had they or their children got to go to trenches in Europe again in another stupid war.

They are mostly in line with what their party´s current policy is. When it makes a U turn, they do too. They don´t have conscription, anyway.

Yes, I know. It would be better if they made a U-turn from Europe.
 
Belarus threatens Ukraine and even EU countries with war over the violation of their airspace by Ukrainian drones. There are allegedly European made parts in one of the drones that were shot down. However, the monitoring project "Belaruski Hajun" claims no drones were detected over Belarus on the day of the violation.

The Belarusian Foreign Ministry writes:

"On August 12, 2024, the Chargé d'Affaires of the European Union in the Republic of Belarus, Sten Nörlov, was invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In connection with the violation of the airspace of Belarus on August 9, 2024, Ukrainian UAVs conveyed the position of the Belarusian side on this issue to the European diplomat. The presence of markings of EU manufacturers on a number of elements of one of the drones shot down by the Belarusian air defense forces was especially noted.

It was emphasised that such actions carry the potential for a radical escalation of the military conflict, which is fraught with its serious expansion, including to the EU countries.

Belarus, which has consistently advocated a peaceful settlement of the crisis through negotiations, calls on the European Union to take all possible measures to influence the Ukrainian leadership in order to prevent such actions in the future."

The real question is:

"If Belarus started a war with Ukraine and/or the EU, would anybody notice?"
 
Contradicting news from Ukraine about Belarusian redeployment of troops to the Ukrainian border.

"It became known that Belarusian troops, under the pretext of "exercises", are pulling a significant part of their military capabilities, including personnel and equipment, to the border with Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Belarus are stationed near the northern part of our country."

vs

"Mykhailo Podolyak said that Ukraine sees certain redeployments in Belarus, but they do not look too powerful. Approximately 1.5-2 thousand soldiers are being redeployed to the Gomel region. Intelligence is monitoring everything and is actively working in this direction. As for the Wagnerites, there are a small number of them on the territory of Belarus. We are talking about hundreds of people, but not thousands."

It is believed that the troops are there to make Ukraine pulling troops from the front lines. Nevertheless, Ukraine warned Belarus of any actions they deem an attempt to escalate and hint at the readiness of troops and defenses that are already in the region.
