Zelensky threatened Minsk with consequences due to alleged repeaters at the border
On June 20, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky announced the alleged presence of repeaters on the border with Belarus.
According to the Ukrainian leader, these devices are located in Gomel and Brest regions. Zelensky believes that they are used to launch drones on the territory of Ukraine.
He stressed that it was time for Minsk to "dismantle this equipment."
The Ukrainian leader issued an ultimatum to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko the day before, accusing Minsk of allegedly having a military presence near the borders. Zelensky clarified that he requires the Belarusian side to withdraw military equipment, otherwise "Kiev will do it."
The publication "Country.ua" noted that Zelensky's ultimatum to Minsk may indicate that the scenario of a military invasion of Belarus is being considered. In turn, the British newspaper The Daily Express wrote that the president of Ukraine, with his threats against Belarus, could escalate the conflict.
