“on May 17, a Ukrainian Chaika drone, which was originally headed toward Russian territory to carry out strikes, was detected near the village of Stanislavtsy in the Vitebsk Region”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While web search results mention Ukrainian drones on May 17 (one in Lithuania and one in the Moscow region), none of the provided evidence mentions a 'Chaika' drone, the village of 'Stanislavtsy', or the 'Vitebsk Region' of Belarus. The Wikipedia result for 'Yury Chaika' refers to a person, not a drone model. There is no evidence in the provided set to confirm or deny this specific event in Belarus.
