September 14, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Recent Russian airstrikes on the Rivne, Volyn and Lviv regions were enabled from the Belarusian territory, with relay systems feeding signals to drones, Andriy Demchenko, spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, said in a YouTube interview with My \u2013 Ukraina<\/em> (\u201cWe are Ukraine\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian authorities continue to facilitate Russian drone attacks on Ukraine, Demchenko said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Kyiv does not see the buildup of strike groups in the Belarusian territory near the border, but the threat from Minsk persists,\u201d as Belarus enables Russia to strike the Ukrainian territory, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview<\/a> with The Times<\/em> published on September 11, Oleh Ivashchenko, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine\u2019s defense ministry, said Belarus-based drone control relay systems used by Russian troops to facilitate attacks on Ukraine had resumed operation again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ivashchenko, Russian forces use a network of towers and relay systems along the border with Ukraine to transmit video signals, with six such systems identified so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 19, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave the Belarusian authorities one week to dismantle four drone-control relay systems allegedly used to facilitate Russian attacks on Ukraine. \u201cIf he [\u0141uka\u0161enka] does not shut them down, we will shut down everything within a week. Either they will do it, or we will,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 24, Zelensky said the relay systems had suspended operations. He followed up with additional demands, saying Belarus should stop developing an \u201caggressive infrastructure\u201d of roads and storage facilities for ammunition, fuel and lubricants near the Ukrainian border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, Ukrainian officials have reported only occasional, and in some cases unconfirmed, instances of relay systems being used in Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
