On 19 June, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued an ultimatum to Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, demanding that Belarus remove within a week the relay transmitters used to help guide Russian drones targeting Ukrainian cities, or Ukraine would do so itself.
On 24 June, Ukraine’s Border Guard Service reported a decline in the number of Russian attack drones entering Ukrainian airspace via Chernihiv Oblast and said there had been no mass flights of Shahed drones along the Belarus-Ukraine border in recent days.
Zelenskyy later said the relay transmitters that had been assisting Russian drones had ceased operating in Belarus on 22 June.
