Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia is considering plans that could involve Belarus in the ongoing war in Ukraine. Zelensky states that Moscow is making preparations that indicate it may attempt to pull Belarus further into the conflict, which has lasted more than four years. He also says Russia is weighing options that would include launching attacks from Belarusian territory either toward Ukraine’s northern regions or toward a NATO country.
Both outlets report Zelensky’s comments as based on Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to monitor and document Russian attempts to increase Belarus’s role. Zelensky communicates these claims publicly through the Telegram messaging app, describing them as part of Russia’s broader strategy to draw Belarus into the war.
The reports summarize Zelensky’s assessment and do not provide independent confirmation of the alleged Russian plans or specify which NATO country could be targeted.
