In Article I, Section 8, the Constitution states that “Congress shall have the power… To declare war.” But that simple statement has left room for interpretation, and centuries of American presidents have claimed the right to launch military attacks without congressional approval. Belarusian authorities refuted claims of airspace violation into Poland.The United States Constitution is clear about which branch of government has the power to declare war. This sentiment was expressed earlier this month, following an incident where two Belarusian helicopters briefly entered Polish airspace at a low altitude. Leaders of the NATO nations, Poland and Lithuania, have voiced their preparedness for potential provocations from Moscow and Minsk, especially in the sensitive border area shared by both countries and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. This development followed an agreement that ended the Wagner fighters' armed rebellion in late June, enabling them and their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, to evade criminal charges by relocating to Russia-allied Belarus. In response to the influx of Wagner fighters, Poland and Lithuania have bolstered their border security measures. The move comes amid heightened tensions with these NATO member states following the arrival of Russia-linked Wagner mercenaries in Belarus subsequent to a brief mutiny within Russia. Belarus has initiated military exercises in close proximity to its borders with Poland and Lithuania.
