Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a one-week ultimatum to Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko regarding the removal of Russian signal repeaters from border towers. The demand was made during a press conference with Honduran President Nasry Asfura in Kyiv on June 19, 2026. Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine will take unspecified action if Belarus fails to comply. The presence of these towers is perceived by Ukraine as enabling Russian communication and potential interference. This development escalates tensions between Ukraine and Belarus, a key ally of Russia. The ultimatum signals a hardening of Ukraine’s stance towards Belarus and its role in the ongoing conflict. Further details regarding the potential Ukrainian response were not disclosed.
