Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned Belarus of potential military retaliation if it does not dismantle air defense systems positioned along the countries’ shared border. The threat stems from concerns that Belarus is bolstering its air defenses in a manner that could support Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Zelensky specifically demanded the removal of radar systems. Belarusian authorities have not yet publicly responded to Zelensky’s ultimatum. The situation raises the possibility of expanding the conflict beyond Ukraine’s borders, potentially drawing Belarus more directly into the war. Analysts suggest this escalation reflects growing Ukrainian frustration with Belarus’s perceived support for Russia. The move also serves as a strong warning against further Belarusian military assistance to Moscow.
