Ukraine's President Raises Alarms Over Russia's Use of Belarusian Land

Ukraine's leader, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, recently shared some concerning news. He said that Russia is using regular apartment buildings in Belarus to launch attacks on Ukraine. This is a clever but risky move by Russia, as it helps them avoid Ukrainian defenses. It's also a problem for Belarus, as it puts their own people in danger. Zelenskiy pointed out that Belarus is letting Russia use their land for these attacks. He said this is a big deal because it means Belarus is giving up some of its independence to help Russia. It's like lending your friend your car, but then they use it to do something illegal. Ukrainian intelligence has seen that Belarus is setting up equipment on the roofs of apartment buildings near the border. This equipment helps guide Russian drones to targets in western Ukraine. Zelenskiy said this is a reckless move that puts many lives at risk. He urged Belarus to stop helping Russia in this way.In a recent meeting, Zelenskiy and his team talked about how to fund more interceptor drones. These drones are seen as a cost-effective way to deal with the increasing number of Russian drone attacks. The Ukrainian military is also working on new strategies to better defend against air attacks. Meanwhile, Belarus' leader, Alexander Lukashenko, recently announced that Russia's new Oreshnik ballistic missile system is now active in Belarus. This system is said to be very advanced and hard to intercept. Two U. S. researchers believe this system is now stationed at a former air base in eastern Belarus. This could make it easier for Russia to launch missiles across Europe. It's important to note that Belarus has been a close ally of Russia since the start of the conflict. However, Lukashenko has made it clear that Belarus will not be sending any troops to fight in Ukraine.
