Zelensky says Belarus must stop supporting Russia, not just declare neutrality

Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 22:49

TL;DR

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that verbal assurances from Belarus of non-involvement in the war are not enough; the first real step would be to halt any technical or logistical support for Russia's war effort, according to a single source.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday evening that mere statements from Belarus about non-involvement in the war are insufficient. He argued that the first substantive step Minsk must take is to end any technical support or participation in the conflict. The statement was reported by a single defense-focused channel and has not yet been corroborated by official sources. As The Zioneer reported Friday, Zelensky earlier issued an ultimatum giving Belarus a week to remove strike-coordination equipment used to guide Russian fire. The new remarks broaden the demand, shifting from equipment removal to a call for a full cessation of logistical backing.
