Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has given Belarus a one-week ultimatum to remove signal boosters for drones located near Ukraine's border. According to Zelensky, Belarus is using the equipment to assist Russia in carrying out attacks on targets inside Ukraine.

He warned that if Belarus does not remove the devices, Ukrainian forces will do so themselves. Belarus is a close ally of Russia and has allowed Russian forces to use its territory since the start of the war. The demand escalates tensions between Ukraine and its northern neighbor, which has not directly entered the conflict but has supported Moscow's military efforts.
