Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has officially confirmed information that retransmitters used to guide 'Shahed' attack drones have ceased operating from Belarusian territory. In his statement, the head of state responded to journalists' questions, relying on data from the Main Command of the Armed Forces and intelligence services. ### Intelligence and Main Commander Data According to information voiced by Zelenskyy, the retransmitters stopped functioning on June 22. The President emphasized that this fact is confirmed by reports he receives daily. "It means, according to the information reported to me by the Main Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi, as well as intelligence, that since June 22, the relevant retransmitters have ceased their work on the territory of Belarus," Zelenskyy noted. At the same time, the President of Ukraine clarified that the exact details of the equipment's fate are currently unknown. It is possible that the retransmitters were dismantled, however, Kyiv continues to work on confirming this information and monitoring the situation. ### Reaction to Kyiv's Ultimatum These events became a continuation of the tense diplomatic and information campaign launched by Kyiv. As early as June 19, Volodymyr Zelenskyy put forward an official demand to Alexander Lukashenko β€” to remove drone guidance equipment from the territory of Belarus targeting Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. At that time, the head of the Ukrainian state set a strict one-week deadline, warning that in the event the demand is not met, Ukraine would be forced to eliminate the threat itself. ### Silence on the Border Simultaneously with Zelenskyy's statement, Belarusian media recorded a change in Russian tactics. According to observers, starting June 24, Russia ceased launching attack drones along the Belarusian-Ukrainian border. This fact was confirmed by the Spokesperson of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, in a comment to RBC-Ukraine. Despite the obvious changes in the situation, there have been no official statements from Belarusian authorities regarding the dismantling or withdrawal of the equipment so far.
