Belarus's role in Russia's war against Ukraine

Belarus is assisting Russia in the war against Ukraine. At the outset of the full-scale invasion, Russian terrorists attacked our country, including from Belarusian territory. At that time, the enemy captured parts of the Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy regions. Later, our soldiers regained territory. Also, the Russians used Belarus to launch missile strikes against our country.

In particular, Alexander Lukashenko recently said that his country is preparing for war despite the fact that it "doesn't want to go to war."
