The Ukrainian leader has demanded that Minsk remove its relay stations from the border within a week, vowing to destroy them otherwise<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s Vladimir Zelensky has issued an ultimatum to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, threatening him with military action if Belarus fails to dismantle the\u00a0communication stations along its southern border, just days after a deadly Ukrainian drone strike on a bus carrying a children\u2019s soccer team from the country.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Lukashenko said that those seeking to drag his nation into the conflict \u201cwill have to pay dearly for that,\u201d<\/em> demanding answers from Kiev regarding the strike on the bus and other \u201cprovocations.\u201d<\/em> The attack in Russia\u2019s Bryansk Region left six children injured and killed the wife of a Belarusian school soccer team<\/a> coach who was accompanying the young athletes to a Russian seaside resort.<\/p>\n

Kiev has denied responsibility, while Zelensky claimed that it was Lukashenko who must \u201cbe honest\u201d<\/em> and prove Minsk\u2019s peaceful intentions by removing \u201cretransmitters on his communication towers\u201d<\/em>\u00a0along the border with Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Lukashenko warns of \u2018war provocation\u2019 after Ukrainian drone attack<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI think one week would be enough for him to accomplish this,\u201d<\/em> the Ukrainian leader stated at a press conference in Kiev on Friday. \u201cIf he does not do it, we will.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Lukashenko has repeatedly said that Belarus has no intention of engaging in a war against any nation and \u201cis not threatening anyone.\u201d<\/em> Zelensky, however, stated that there was \u201cno need for unnecessary words,\u201d<\/em> and issued another veiled threat against the Belarusian oil refining industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust like his, for example, oil refining industry,\u201d<\/em> Zelensky said, claiming that Minsk is one of Russia\u2019s \u201cmain\u201d<\/em> suppliers of petroleum products. \u201cCan this be stopped? I am sure that it is within his power.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Belarus, a close Russian ally, has largely stayed out of the conflict since 2022, while calling on Moscow and Kiev to engage in dialogue and expressing its readiness to contribute to a diplomatic resolution. In September 2025, Lukashenko stated that he was ready to meet Zelensky personally to discuss possible compromises, but the Ukrainian leader rejected the offer.<\/p>\n

In November, Minsk released 31 Ukrainian citizens from detention in a \u201cgoodwill gesture\u201d<\/em> at the request of Kiev and US President Donald Trump, who was also seeking to mediate the conflict.<\/p>\n

Over the past few weeks, Zelensky has been ramping up his rhetoric about an allegedly growing threat posed by Belarus \u2013 and threatened it with a preemptive strike<\/a>.\u00a0Earlier this year, the commander of Ukraine\u2019s Unmanned Systems Forces warned that Kiev had already identified some 500 potential military and logistical targets across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
