Russia Preps Western Ukraine Strikes via Belarus, Zelensky Warns

Zelensky reports Russia is installing drone signal repeaters in Belarus and lobbying Lukashenko to host ballistic missile complexes for strikes on western Ukraine, which would draw Belarus into active warfare. Russian targeting doctrine continues to focus on water utilities, power generation, Black Sea ports, and river bridges ahead of winter. The claim is unverified but consistent with established Russian patterns; the key change is potential Belarusian basing.
