Belarus aids Russia in the war
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Belarus has been supporting Russia in the war against Ukraine. In February 2022, Russian military equipment entered Ukraine through Belarusian territory. Additionally, Russia is using Belarus to station its aircraft and troops.
Furthermore, Russia has declared its intention to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus. The leader of the Belarusian regime, Alexander Lukashenko, has already utilized the Russian "nuclear card" to issue threats.
