Evidence

Multiple independent outlets — Kyiv Post, Kyiv Independent, Meduza, Hromadske, Ukrinform, and TVP World — all reported, within the same reporting cycle, that Andrii Demchenko, spokesperson for Ukraine's State Border Guard Service, stated that Belarus-based relay/repeater equipment has been reactivated (after being switched off in June following a Zelensky ultimatum) and is being used to boost signals for Russian Shahed and Gerbera/Geran drones heading toward western Ukraine (Volyn, Rivne, Lviv) and the Polish border area, including a Sept. 13 strike near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk crossing with Poland. The wording in the claim closely matches Kyiv Independent's phrasing describing Demchenko's statement. No Reuters Fact Check, AFP Fact Check, Bellingcat, or EUvsDisinfo investigation of this specific claim was found in search results — the reporting consists of direct attributed statements from the Ukrainian official rather than independent forensic or technical verification of the relay equipment's existence or function.
