Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to remove Russian equipment used in attacks against Ukraine from Belarusian territory within one week.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday, June 19, Zelensky said Russian forces are using signal-boosting stations located in Belarusian border regions to guide attacks against Ukraine.<\/p>\n
He stated that if Lukashenko does not wish to become directly involved in the war, he should dismantle or deactivate these facilities.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainian president warned that if no action is taken, Ukraine would act on its own, although he did not provide further details.<\/p>\n
Zelensky also said that Belarus has become one of the main suppliers of Russia\u2019s military needs, particularly petroleum products, and argued that Lukashenko has the ability to stop this support.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya expressed support for Zelensky\u2019s position, saying that if Lukashenko truly wants peace, he should end Belarus\u2019s support for Russia\u2019s war effort.<\/p>\n
Belarus has remained one of Moscow\u2019s closest allies since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and has repeatedly been accused of supporting Russian military operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to remove Russian equipment used in attacks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1038421,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7655],"tags":[1111,10546,286163,332,286164,28440,657,771,14432],"class_list":["post-1038420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-russia","tag-belarus","tag-kyiv","tag-lukashenko","tag-russia","tag-russian-equipment","tag-russian-military","tag-ukraine","tag-war","tag-zelenskyy"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116781428638025183","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1038420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1038420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1038420\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1038421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1038420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1038420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1038420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
