Zelensky gives Lukashenko one-week ultimatum to remove drone-guidance gear used in attacks on Ukraine

Euronews—Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a one-week ultimatum to Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko to remove drone-guidance relay stations being used to facilitate Russian attacks on Ukraine. Zelensky warned that if Belarus fails to act, Ukraine will 'do it' itself — implying cross-border military action against the equipment. The Kyiv Independent reported Zelensky's statement specifically targeted drone-guidance infrastructure, not Belarusian troops. Lukashenko separately claimed Belarus poses no military threat to Ukraine and reportedly apologized for past remarks, in an unexpected conciliatory statement. Politico Europe confirmed the ultimatum, with European officials closely watching Belarus's response as the Russia-Ukraine war continues.
