Zelensky issues bombshell threat to go to war with another country next week

Ukraine has threatened to take military action against Belarus as soon as next weekend – this is a breaking story

Ukraine has threatened to take military action against Belarus as soon as next weekend if it does not dismantle relay equipment on his territory.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has given Vladimir Putin’s ally Alexander Lukashenko seven days to remove the equipment used to guide Russian drone strikes against Ukrainian cities, otherwise Ukraine will do it itself.

“I think one week will be enough for him to do this,” Zelensky said at a joint press conference with Honduran President Nasry Asfura in Kyiv on Friday.

“Why do I say one week? Because every day now, our civilians are dying and children are being injured because of this. If he does not do this, we will do it ourselves.”

Such a move by Ukraine would threaten to widen the war with Russia already seeking to pull Belarus into the conflict, which Lukashenko has so far resisted.
