Robert Brovdi also warned Belarus against Minsk's deeper involvement in Russia's war against Ukraine.

"The first 500 targets have been identified. The sincere and very practical advice is not to anger Ukraine," the commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces wrote on Facebook on May 26.

Brovdi – whose military nickname is "Magyar" – also responded to threats from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Earlier, on May 25, Foreign Minister Lavrov said that Russia was planning to carry out "systematic attacks on targets in Kyiv."

Brovdi pointed out that 9 out of 13 Russian oil refineries had ceased operations following UAV attacks by Ukraine and forces led by "Magyar".

Ukraine is increasingly concerned that Belarus could be drawn deeper into a full-scale war orchestrated by Russia.

On May 26, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya in Kyiv, just days after Belarusian President Lukashenko proposed talks with President Zelensky in Kyiv or Minsk.

Ukrainian President Zelensky said: "We appreciate all the support from the people of Belarus for a free Ukraine. And we know that the day will come when good neighborly relations between our two countries will be restored on the basis of genuine independence for both Ukraine and Belarus."

"Ukraine has never been a threat to Belarus," he emphasized.

Last week, President Zelensky said Kyiv was ready to take "preventive" measures against Russia and the Belarusian leadership regarding potential military threats to northern Ukraine. Zelensky's statement came amid joint nuclear exercises between Russia and Belarus, escalating tensions with NATO members in Europe stemming from Ukrainian drone incursions into Baltic airspace.

"The de facto leadership of Belarus must always be vigilant and understand that there will be consequences if there are acts of aggression against Ukraine and against our people," the Ukrainian president said during a visit to Slavutych, a city about 50 km from the Belarusian border.

Earlier in April, President Zelensky stated, based on Ukrainian military reports, that Belarus was building roads toward the Ukrainian border and establishing artillery positions near Ukraine.
