Belarusian role in the Russian-Ukrainian war
At the outset of Russia's full-scale invasion, it entered Ukrainian territory, including from Belarus. During that time, Russian occupying forces seized parts of the Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy regions. Our troops subsequently liberated these territories in the spring.
Throughout the entire period of the full-scale war, the state-terrorist used Belarus's territory to launch strikes against Ukraine.
