Lukashenko threatened Ukraine in response to a statement about 500 Belarusian targets
Belarus’s self-proclaimed president, Alexander Lukashenko, threatened to strike a “very serious” target with precise coordinates in Ukraine, near the Belarusian border. This statement came in response to remarks by Robert Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces (call sign “Madyar”), who reported that the Ukrainian military had identified 500 potential targets on Belarusian territory and urged the Minsk dictator “not to get in the way.”
This was reported by the Telegram channel “Pool of the First,” which is close to the Belarusian dictator.
In his speech, Lukashenko resorted to insults against Ukrainian defenders, calling territorial defense servicemen, former workers, and machine operators “cannon fodder” who were allegedly simply rounded up off the streets. At the same time, he denied President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s statements regarding a military threat to Ukraine from the republic, calling the Ukrainian leader’s words nonsense and idle chatter.
The Belarusian dictator expressed his conviction that the Ukrainian military itself allegedly does not want war with Belarus, as it fully understands the consequences of opening an additional, difficult front stretching a thousand kilometers. Currently, official Belarusian sources continue to issue statements claiming control over the situation at the border, despite the obvious escalation of tensions in the rhetoric between Ukraine’s military leadership and the Minsk regime, which remains Russia’s closest ally in the war.
Lukashenko spoke about Belarusian artificial intelligence.
As a reminder, Belarus has launched exercises to practice the use of nuclear weapons.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia is attempting to draw Belarus deeper into the war against Ukraine and is considering new scenarios for aggression from its territory.
Belarus’s self-proclaimed president, Alexander Lukashenko, held a meeting on military equipment and announced the preparation of a new state armament program for 2026–2030.
