Belarus assists Russia in the war
From the early days of the full-scale invasion, Belarus has been assisting Russia in its war against Ukraine. Russian military equipment entered Ukraine from Belarusian territory in February 2022.
Furthermore, Russia announced its intention to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus. The head of the Belarusian regime, Alexander Lukashenko, has already used the prospect of Russian nukes as a threat.
