Belarus has ceased operation of equipment allegedly used to control Russian attack drones, following an ultimatum from Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the devices stopped functioning on June 22nd, and Kyiv is maintaining daily surveillance of the situation. The move comes after Ukraine warned it could target Belarusian territory if the equipment continued to support Russian military actions. Details regarding the specific equipment and its location remain limited. This action potentially reduces Russia’s ability to launch drone strikes from Belarusian airspace. The Ukrainian government has not yet commented on whether this is a sufficient response to their demands, continuing to closely observe Belarus’s actions.
