MOSCOW, June 22 (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Monday accused Ukraine of threatening the sovereignty of ‌close Russian ally Belarus after Kyiv gave ‌Minsk a week to remove signal relay stations it said ​were being used to help guide Russian attacks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday that a week should be enough for Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko ‌to remove the equipment, ⁠which he said was being used by Russia in its attacks on Ukraine, ⁠adding a threat of Ukrainian action if Lukashenko did not do so.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russian ​President ​Vladimir Putin and Belarusian ​President Alexander Lukashenko were ‌expected to discuss Zelenskiy's remarks "in the foreseeable future".

"As for the threat itself, of course, it is utterly aggressive: interference in the internal affairs of another country and an encroachment on another country’s sovereignty," ‌Peskov told reporters.

"But we have ​no doubt whatsoever that the ​Belarusian leadership, and ​Belarus itself, are capable of safeguarding ‌their sovereignty.”

Russian forces used Belarusian ​territory to enter ​Ukraine in February 2022, but Minsk - which hosts Russian tactical nuclear weapons - has not committed ​its own ‌troops and has said it has no plans ​to join the war.
