Russia Prepares Western Strikes Via Belarus

President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Russia is preparing to intensify aerial attacks against western Ukraine, installing drone signal repeaters in Belarus and lobbying Alexander Lukashenko to deploy ballistic missile complexes. He also cautioned that hosting Russian ballistics would directly draw Belarus into active warfare, noting that Russian targeting doctrines continue to concentrate on municipal water utilities, power generation, Black Sea ports, and river bridges ahead of winter.
