Zelenskyy warned that Belarus is already resorting to suspicious activity
The day before, there was quite specific activity on the border between Ukraine and Belarus — from the Belarusian side. We are carefully recording everything, monitoring everything, and, if necessary, we will react.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
Against the backdrop of recent events, the head of state made it clear that Ukraine will do everything possible to protect its people and sovereignty.
Thus, the Ukrainian leader sent a clear signal to the Belarusian dictator Oleksandr Lukashenka.
In addition, Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that he and his team are already working on new sanctions decisions.
What is important to understand is that we are talking about several sanctions packages at once.
We continue to work with partners — in Europe, the Middle East, the Gulf, and other parts of the world — with anyone who can strengthen Ukraine's air defenses and provide Ukraine with greater economic strength. We expect significant things from the talks in May.
