The manipulation message is another information measure of the Lukashenko regime related to the provocation and violation of Polish airspace by Belarusian choppers.

 Facts: On August 1, 2023, there was a violation of Polish airspace by two Belarusian choppers that carried out training near the border.

The Ministry of Defense of Belarus issued a manipulation message that contains disinformation about the lack of violation of Polish airspace by Belarusian choppers on August 1, 2023.

Selected disinformation narratives:

 Belarusian choppers did not violate Polish airspace on August 1, 2023.

 The announcement of the Polish MoD is a deliberate action to „justify” the dislocation and the increase in the number of troops and equipment near the border with Belarus.

 The Polish Ministry of National Defence is dependent (non-sovereign) and has made a deliberate change of position as a result of consultations „with its overseas commanders”.
