If you want to beat Putin in Ukraine, target his wicked neighbour

Two weeks ago, residents of Machulishchy were intrigued as soldiers and police swarmed across their small town on the edge of Minsk, the capital of Belarus.

Cordons and checkpoints were hastily erected around the local airbase, which has hosted Russia's forces during its abominable war against Ukraine.

It was clear that Belarusian security services - known as the KGB - were panicking. The Belarusian people, who are disgusted at their government's support for the Kremlin's illegal invasion of Ukraine, had struck a symbolic blow right at the heart of Russia's military. Our anti-war partisans had flown two drones over the base and bombed a Russian spy plane used to pinpoint targets inside Ukraine, leaving it severely damaged.

Unfortunately for the Belarusian KGB, the heroic resistance fighters who made a mockery of Russian military might managed to escape the checkpoints. They are now safely outside the country.
