Belarus is helping Russia in its war
From the early days of the full-scale invasion, Belarus has been assisting Russia in the war against Ukraine. In February 2022, the Russian military entered Ukraine from Belarusian territory. Russia also uses Belarus to place its aircraft and troops.
Recently, a division of the S-400 air defense missile system, provided by Russia, went on combat duty in Belarus.
Russia has also announced that it will deploy its nuclear weapons in Belarus. The leader of the Belarusian regime, Alexander Lukashenko, has already used Russian nuclear rhetoric as a threat.
