Belarus provides significant support to the aggressor country russia in carrying out a full-scale war against Ukraine. The russians use its territory to control UAVs, and also get the opportunity to purchase components for the production of weapons.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made the statement on Sunday, January 25.
According to him, the dog of self-proclaimed president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has more rights than the Belarusian people. There was a chance to change this in 2020, but the regime managed to suppress the protests. Now the entire continent is realizing how dangerous Minsk's dependence on moscow has become.
Zelenskyy noted that russian operators of Shahed-type attack drones use the territory of Belarus to launch strikes against Ukraine. Communication for air attacks is also maintained from the territory of Belarus.
"Russia is using Belarus as a testing ground for blackmailing Europe and the world with "oreshniks". Belarus's industry works for the Russian war, and trade ties help Putin (russian dictator vladimir putin - ed.) buy the components he needs to build a threat against all of us in Europe," Zelenskyy said.
The President emphasized that it is important for Europe not to lose any of the nations that live in freedom.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, at the end of December 2025, it became known that in Belarus, on the roofs of houses equipment is placed, which the occupiers use to launch UAV strikes on Ukraine.
