Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a stark warning to the leadership of Belarus, invoking the recent political events in Venezuela as a cautionary tale. He stated that the 'nature and consequences' of those events should deter Minsk from making mistakes. Zelenskyy also announced an alleged increase in military activity near the Belarus-Ukraine border and claims Kyiv has officially warned Minsk of its readiness to defend itself. This continues Zelenskyy's public pressure campaign against Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, suggesting he could face a fate similar to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
