- Zelensky gives Lukashenko a week to dismantle the repeaters, warning of potential consequences for non-compliance.
Zelenskyy harshly addressed Lukashenko: details
The Head of State emphasized that the Belarusian side is capable of dismantling these facilities independently, and if this is not done within a week, Ukraine may take appropriate action.
Zelenskyy announced this during a joint conversation with journalists in Kyiv with Honduran President Nasri Asfura.
Now Russia will continue to push him (self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko — ed.) into this war. Now he understands that Ukraine will respond. No need for unnecessary words. Today he has repeaters on his towers — Russian repeaters or Belarusian ones, what difference does it make to us? On his territory along two regions bordering Ukraine, there is equipment that adjusts fire on the Ukrainian population. Exactly on the population.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
Zelensky noted that in Belarus there are drone repeaters on corresponding towers.
He can take it down. Why say he doesn't want to be in the war? Let him take down this equipment, let him turn off this equipment. I think a week will be enough for him to do it. Why do I say a week, because now every day our civilians are dying because of this, our children are injured. If he doesn't do it, we will.
In addition, Zelensky stressed that the Ukrainian side is doing everything to prevent the Russians from selling oil and supplying diesel and oil to their army. According to him, the Belarusian oil refining industry is currently one of the main suppliers for the Russian army.
The President also recalled that at the beginning of the full-scale war, the territory of Ukraine was attacked with missiles from Belarus. Zelensky said that Lukashenko also called then, apologized and said that he could not control it. The Head of State emphasized that he did not believe the words of the Belarusian leader.
Zelensky also commented on the recent situation when Lukashenko apologized to the head of the Ukrainian state on the air of one of the media outlets.
Alexander Grigorovich Lukashenko, the leader of Belarus, a country that is our neighbor. Border security is very important to us. And he understands perfectly well that we are already grown-up guys, right? No one is offended simply by personal words. If my country is offended, we will be offended and will not forget, if it is some personal thing, he apologized and thank God, let's say so.
