Will Ukraine knock out more Belarus radio towers b4 7/15? Russia's been using them for drone attacks.

On July 14, 2026, this question resolved NO.

66% of users predicted YES โ€” the community missed this one. 41 predictions cast.

No additional confirmed Ukrainian strikes on Belarusian radio relay towers were reported before July 15, 2026. On June 19, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko a one-week ultimatum to dismantle four signal relay stations in Belarus's Gomel and Brest regions, which Ukraine says Russia used, disguised as ordinary TV or cellphone towers, to guide Shahed drone strikes into Ukraine. Zelensky warned that Ukraine would act on the towers itself if Belarus did not.

By June 22, 2026, the relay signals had gone dark. However, Kyiv did not say whether the systems were physically destroyed, powered down voluntarily by Belarus, or disabled by other means, and independent verification of the cause has not been reported. No follow-on Ukrainian military action against additional towers was documented in the weeks that followed, through the July 15 deadline.

The community majority (66% predicted further Ukrainian action against the towers) got this wrong. The towers went silent in apparent response to the ultimatum itself, without a confirmed additional Ukrainian strike, leaving the question's specific "knock out" framing unresolved in Ukraine's favor.
