"First he invented a threat, then he himself defeated it." Propaganda refutes Zelensky, claims that repeaters were not removed because they didn't exist
After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that since June 22, repeaters on Belarusian territory, through the operation of which he issued an ultimatum to Lukashenka, have been disconnected, Lukashenka's propagandists unanimously began to insist that in fact no repeaters existed at all. It seems that this position will become the main one for propaganda to save face.

As Aliaksei Dziermant claims, "we haven't seen any evidence of their existence at all." Zelensky, they say, himself got scared of his ultimatum, because he was "clearly shown what the response from Belarus would be, including to himself, his family, and his property."
"Everything as predicted — first he invented a threat, then he himself defeated it. Let him award himself a medal," Ryhor Azaronak declares in the same vein.
"Well, do you remember my post after Zelensky's threats to Minsk? I wrote then that after a while he would claim that the repeaters had been removed," the Telegram channel "Belarusian Silovik" boasts.
