The Russian Federation is already deploying complexes for launching Oreshnik ballistic missiles on Belarusian territory.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns Belarusians not to allow Russia to drag them into a war against Ukraine. Ukraine is ready to use all means necessary to prevent the launch of Oreshnik missiles from Belarus. According to a UNIAN correspondent, Zelenskyy said this during a conversation with journalists.

In particular, the president spoke about current relations with Belarus and the purpose of his meeting with opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.

"We are telling the people of Belarus that they are being drawn into a war against Ukraine. The regime in Belarus allowed an attack on Ukraine in 2022, but the Belarusians did not participate at that time. The regime authorized a full-scale invasion from Belarusian territory and the launch of missiles from Belarusian territory. In other words, this regime is an ally of the aggressor, but there, in Belarus, people are not directly involved in the war. That's the first thing," Zelenskyy said.
