Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a week-long ultimatum to Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, demanding the removal of military equipment allegedly being used to support Russian forces. Zelensky claims this equipment is being used to adjust fire on Ukrainian civilians along the Belarus-Ukraine border. He stated that if Lukashenko does not comply within seven days, Ukraine will take action to remove the installations itself. The Ukrainian president framed the demand as a test of Lukashenko’s stated desire to avoid involvement in the conflict. This escalation follows ongoing concerns about Belarus’s alignment with Russia in the war. The threat raises the possibility of direct Ukrainian military action within Belarusian territory. Zelensky’s statement represents a significant hardening of rhetoric towards Minsk.
