"This will be a good opportunity to discuss these and other issues," Russian media quote Peskov's response to a question about whether Putin and Lukashenko plan to discuss Volodymyr Zelenskyy's demand to dismantle within a week the repeaters located in the border areas of Belarus and intended for guiding strikes against Ukraine, otherwise "we will do it ourselves."
Peskov called the Ukrainian president's words an "aggressive" threat, "interference in internal affairs," and "an encroachment on the sovereignty" of Belarus.
"But we have no doubt that the leadership of Belarus and Belarus itself are capable of ensuring their sovereignty," Peskov emphasized.
Recall
President Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine demands Belarus dismantle the repeaters that help Russian drones. Kyiv gave Minsk a week to comply with the demand, otherwise Ukraine will do it itself.
