"On February 18, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy imposed sanctions against Belarusian dictator Alyaksandr Lukashenka for his role in escalating and prolonging Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine. One of the stated reasons is that in the second half of 2025, Russia deployed a system of repeaters for the control of attack UAVs on the territory of Belarus. This significantly expanded Russia's ability to strike the northern regions of Ukraine, from Kyiv to Volyn."
"Some of the attacks, including strikes on energy and railway infrastructure, would not have been possible without the assistance of the Belarusian side. The imposition of sanctions was the culmination of a months-long cyber operation by Ukrainian hacktivists from the Fenix cyber analytics center, supported by volunteers of InformNapalm international intelligence community. Details of the cyber operation During the operation, hacktivists broke into the accounts of dozens of Russian military personnel and gained access to monitoring systems used by attack drone operators."

In the second half of 2025, Russia deployed a system of repeaters on Belarusian territory to control attack UAVs, expanding strike capabilities across northern Ukraine from Kyiv to Volyn. Several attacks on energy and railway infrastructure relied on Belarusian assistance. The sanctions followed a months-long cyber operation by Ukrainian hacktivists from the Fenix cyber analytics center with InformNapalm volunteers. Hacktivists breached dozens of Russian military accounts, accessed UAV monitoring systems, conducted continuous covert surveillance, and transmitted data to Ukrainian Defense Forces.
