President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tells Belarus that it must act on drone-guidance relay equipment near the border, warning that Ukraine will respond if Minsk does not comply. Speaking at a media briefing in Kyiv, Zelenskyy sets a one-week deadline directed at Belarusian President Aliaksandr Lukashenka. Zelenskyy says the equipment is used to relay guidance for Russian drone strikes targeting locations inside Ukraine. If Belarus does not take measures to address the equipment within the week, Zelenskyy says Ukraine will take action to remove or neutralize the problem itself, including by taking down the relay equipment on the border. The two reports describe the same substance and timeline: a week-long ultimatum tied to alleged Belarus-based or Belarus-controlled infrastructure supporting Russian drone operations. Neither source provides additional details about what steps Belarus must take beyond addressing the relay equipment, nor do they confirm any independent assessment of responsibility or technical specifics.
