Ukraine’s escalating strike campaign and threats against a key ally of Vladimir Putin reveal a growing confidence in Kyiv and point to a shift in how it is fighting the war.
The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, threatened Alexander Lukashenko, the leader of Russian ally Belarus, last week over equipment positioned in his country that was being used to attack Ukraine.
Zelensky said signal relay stations located in two regions of Belarus over the border from Ukraine were being used by Russia to help drones navigate to attack Ukrainian cities.

“Let [Lukashenko] remove this equipment, let him switch it off,” Zelensky said on Friday. “I think a week will be enough for him to do that. If he doesn’t do it, we’ll do it.”
