Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine is not heading to war with Belarus "for now", according to a report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) on Wednesday evening. Zelensky also acknowledged that Belarus has shut down relay stations along the border that were being used by Russia to coordinate drone strikes on Ukraine, marking a concrete step toward reducing Belarusian complicity in the war effort. The statement appears to lower tensions after a series of escalating threats and ultimatums from Kyiv toward Minsk. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Zelensky issued a one-week ultimatum on June 19 for Belarus to remove strike-coordination equipment or face Ukrainian action, following earlier warnings that verbal neutrality was insufficient. The reported Belarusian shutdown of the relay stations may represent a response to that pressure, though it is not yet independently confirmed. What remains open is whether this step will be sufficient to satisfy Kyiv's broader demands, including a complete halt to logistical support for Russia's military operations.
