Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a one-day ultimatum to Belarus to clear military equipment deployed along the border, warning that Ukrainian forces would act if the equipment is not removed, according to the report. The ultimatum tightens an earlier one-week deadline Zelenskyy set on Friday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday evening gave Belarus a one-day ultimatum to remove military equipment deployed near the border with Ukraine, warning that Kyiv would act unilaterally otherwise, according to a report posted on a subscribed channel. The new deadline sharply tightens the one-week ultimatum Zelenskyy had issued earlier on Friday, as The Zioneer reported at 18:54 Jerusalem. The earlier deadline had given Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko until next Friday to withdraw the gear; the latest report suggests the timeline has been compressed dramatically. The report did not specify what prompted the escalation or provide an official statement from the Ukrainian government. The source and specifics of the ultimatum remain unverified by additional channels.
