'A week will be enough' — Zelensky issues ultimatum to Lukashenko over drone-guidance equipment
President Volodymyr Zelensky on June 19 accused Belarus of facilitating Russian drone attacks on Ukraine and warned that Minsk has one week to remove communications equipment allegedly helping guide strikes from Belarusian territory, or Ukraine would take action itself."Every day our civilians are dying because of this," he said. "If he does not (switch) it (off), we will."

MOSCOW, June 20. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky hopes in vain that his ultimatum to the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko will have a positive effect on Kiev. On the contrary, threats to Minsk provoke Moscow to respond, said LDPR leader Leonid Slutsky.
"Zelensky's statements to Lukashenko are a dangerous performance aimed at the Western public, a provocation of escalation and expansion of the conflict zone <... >. Does the leader of the neo-Nazi regime understand that he opened Pandora's box?" Slutsky wrote in his
The LDPR leader reminded that, according to the updated nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation, Moscow considers threats to allied Minsk as an encroachment on its own security. "Zelensky and Co. really want to create a casus belli (translated from Latin as a reason for war - note. TASS) for the imminent response of the leading nuclear power?" Slutsky said.
In his opinion, Zelensky's actions against Belarus may lead to a prolongation of hostilities, a postponement of elections in Ukraine and, consequently, new financial support to Kiev. At the same time, for Western leaders, Minsk's involvement in the conflict is an opportunity to realize a long-standing desire to intervene in the sovereign affairs of Belarus.
Earlier, Zelensky made further threats against Belarus, saying that he was ready to give an order to attack the equipment, which, according to him, is located on Belarusian territory along the border with Ukraine, if it is not removed from there within a week.
