The Ukrainian president did not provide further details on the intelligence information.
Belarus borders Ukraine to the south and NATO member countries Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia to the north and west.
So far, there has been no official reaction from Russia or Belarus regarding Zelensky's statements.
Belarus was used by Russia as a launching pad during its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, although Minsk did not send troops to the front.
Meanwhile, Belarus has accepted the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons and "Oreshnik" hypersonic missiles on its territory.
Zelensky said Ukraine is preparing response plans and strengthening defenses in the northern regions of Chernihiv and Kyiv.
