Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged Belarusian authorities for a second consecutive day to dismantle relay stations he said were being used to help stage Russian drone attacks on Ukrainian regions. He said Ukraine knew of four such relay stations in Belarus and warned the country’s de facto leadership that Kyiv was tracking facilities supporting Russia’s war effort. Zelenskiy referenced Belarus’s longtime leader Alexander Lukashenko indirectly, alluding to a contested re-election, while pressing Belarus to demonstrate it would not provide direct support for Moscow. He also highlighted the role of Belarus’s oil refining sector, saying gasoline supplies from Belarus to Russia rose 13 times from January through May versus a year earlier and diesel supplies tripled. Zelenskiy repeated a warning that Ukraine could act if the relay equipment was not removed within a week, without providing details.
