Summary
June 22 marked the shutdown of signal repeaters in Belarus that Zelenskyy said had been helping Russian drones target Ukrainian cities, citing reports from Ukraine’s military chief and intelligence services.
Zelenskyy said the systems are no longer operating but it is still unclear whether they were dismantled, adding that he is receiving daily updates and closely monitoring the situation.
A 1-week ultimatum issued by Zelenskyy on June 19 had warned Alexander Lukashenko to remove the repeaters or Ukraine would do it itself.
Ukrainian border guards said on June 24 that drone incursions through Chernihiv Oblast had eased and that no mass Shahed flights had been recorded along the Belarus-Ukraine border in recent days.
