Belarus also seems determined to go to war. President Alexander Lukashenko accuses Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania of preparing terrorist attacks and an uprising in his country.

Alexander Lukashenko waves the threat. In a neat staging, the President of Belarus, in the presence of his staff, says he is ready to deploy joint troops with Russia. Alexander Lukashenko believes that his territory is in danger. “Fighters are training in Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania to carry out sabotage, terrorist acts and a military uprising in our country. This becomes a direct threat”said the head of state.

Belarus would therefore be ready to enter the conflict alongside its ally, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is currently in a bad position. Both countries share a border with Ukraine. Certainly, Alexander Lukashenko allowed the Russian army to be stationed on his territory before the start of the conflict. Hundreds of Russian missiles were even fired from Belarusian soil. But so far, cautious, the president has never taken the step of involving his army. For the moment, Russia has not confirmed this common strategy.
