The role of Belarus in the war between Russia and Ukraine

At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia entered Ukrainian territory, including from Belarus. During that time, terrorists seized parts of the Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy regions. Later, our soldiers liberated these territories.

Throughout the entire period of the war, the occupying country used Belarusian territory to launch attacks on Ukraine.
