, May 30→Ukraine expands the war: Belarus threat and southern logistics collapse
A [[diplomatic]] kerfuffle blew up into a full-on [[crisis]] in Latvia, with the announced resignation of the Latvian defense minister over this dangerous violation of [[international]] norms and [[law]]. But the shocking news came a day later, when it was revealed the defense minister had not actually resigned as believed, but was in fact fired by Latvian [[prime minister]] Evika Silina: Only a day after that, the Latvian prime minister herself suddenly resigned, as the entire [[government]] essentially collapsed within a week over this very issue of unchecked Ukrainian drone incursions.

A new area of tension emerged in northern Ukraine. It refers to the entire border region with [[Belarus]]. On May 22, 2026 Ukrainian President [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] warned of a potential attack from Belarus. ‘The threat is not just to [[Kyiv]] and Chernihiv, but also to the Volyn, Zhytomyr, and Rivne regions,’ he said in an evening address from Rivne. Zelensky even threatened a preemptive strike against Belarus. ‘If there is a threat from Belarusian or Russian border regions, Ukraine is prepared to act preemptively,’ he said.
