June 24, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Belarus-based relay systems that facilitated Russian drone attacks have suspended operation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether they dismounted them or not, I, frankly speaking, don\u2019t know yet. But we are working on it and I am closely following it and receive daily reports. The fact is that the relay systems are not operational now,\u201d Suspilne<\/em> quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that Commander in Chief Oleksander Syrskyi and intelligence reported that the relay systems had not been operating since June 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian media outlet Flagshtok<\/em> reported with reference to its sources that Russian attack drones have not been flying along the Belarusian-Ukrainian border for three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ukrainian Armed Forces spotted the most recent flight in northwestern part of the Chirnihiv region on June 21, Flagshtok<\/em> said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late spring and early summer, large numbers of Russian attack drones were flying along the Belarusian-Ukrainian border every day, some entered Belarus and were frequently spotted by local residents. Some drones went down in Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

On June 23, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka asked residents of the Homiel region, bordering Ukraine, not to be anxious following Zelensky\u2019s ultimatum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus \u201chas everything necessary to protect its population from any aggressor,\u201d Pul Pervogo<\/em>, a Telegram channel linked to the Belarusian ruler\u2019s press office, quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
