Ukrainian President Zelensky Warns Belarus Against War Involvement
President Zelensky cautioned Belarus that any involvement in the conflict would have serious consequences, as Moscow may attempt to draw its ally into the war.
In a statement via Telegram, Zelensky emphasized Ukraine’s readiness to defend its territory and independence against any aggressor. He referenced intelligence reports indicating that Belarus has begun infrastructure enhancements and artillery placements near the Ukrainian border. This warning comes in the context of Belarus’s previous role in facilitating the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
