On June 20, 2026, marking the 1,578th day of the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi issued a direct warning to Belarus. Zelenskyi gave Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko one week to remove Russian military equipment from Belarusian territory. During a press conference in Kyiv, the Ukrainian leader explained that Russia is utilizing two signal relay stations located in Belarus. These stations are allegedly being used to coordinate attacks against civilian targets within Ukraine. The ultimatum follows ongoing tensions regarding Belarus's role in supporting Russian military operations. The news was reported by the Reuters news agency.
