Russian spy drones flying into Ukraine from Belarusian airspace have sharply increased since the beginning of the year, as senior officials in Kyiv express mounting concern over Belarus’s involvement in the war.

Troops operating along the border say they have noted a jump of about 20% in Russian intelligence drones since January.
