President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will try to drag Belarus into a war.

He said this during a conversation with journalists, according to «Interfax-Ukraine».

«You will see that in the spring, summer or autumn, he will deploy forces on the territory of Belarus... I don't know if there will be an invasion, but in any case, he will drag Belarus into the war in this way. Although, in my opinion, after they attacked Ukraine with missiles, they were already in this war. But their people are not. Their army is not. Not yet. But Putin really wants this», Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

To recap, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed laws extending martial law and general mobilisation from 8 February to 9 May 2025.
