Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko is providing the country’s territory for the placement of Russian repeaters for Shahed kamikaze drones.
«Now Belarus knows exactly what is happening on its territory. It is no longer possible to say, as Lukashenko told me before after the start of the full-scale invasion, that missiles flew, and they have been here for a long time, and we do not control it,» Zelensky said in an interview with the Belarusian publication Dzerkalo.
According to him, these are new repeaters that appeared on the territory of Belarus to correct Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector.
«We did everything so that three or four of them were gone. We had to do this because Russia used jet drones, but not only through Belarus. They were not only going through their territory, they were going with technological support, which was carried out from the territory of Belarus,» Zelensky emphasized.
According to him, Belarus is now preparing sites for the deployment of Oreshnik missiles on the territory of Belarus. Volodymyr Zelensky believes that NATO should consider Oreshnik as a legitimate target. Ukraine, for its part, will also assess this threat.
Earlier, Advisor to the Minister of Defense Sergey «Flash» Beskrestnov warned that the Russians were looking into the possibility of installing relay equipment for Shahed drones in private Ukrainian households.
