If Putin declares war on Ukraine, Lukashenko is obligated by treaty to send his cannon fodder to fight for Putin. If Putin declares war tomorrow or on Oct 1, Lukashenko is obligated to send his troops to war by November 1st.
Where are they going to find 100,000 motivated soldiers?
Seriously. Not even their warrior elite could possibly have any interest in fighting all of NATO and its Ukrainian cannon fodder.
“unless Kyiv withdraws its forces from the ‘new Russian territories’ after the referendums”
Oh, well, that certainly sounds like the referendums are totally legitimate, if the President of Belarus knows what the results will be ahead of time.
Flashback: Belarus leader says Minsk won't join Russian operation in Ukraine
Please get it straight, NATO instigated this war by expanding nearly 300% since it’s founding.
Good luck.
Their forces were not enthusiastic five months ago. I cannot imagine their motivation has improved.
Lukashenko better be careful.
He is in precarious position, totally hated by the population.
He has no army, only oppressive police.
If he does something like that he could be very quickly overrun by Ukraine and/or other forces around.
“ They also revealed that railway stations and airports in the country are being prepared for recruiting citizens into the military.”
Is that what they are calling Shanghai’ing these days?
I want to make sure I understand the nuances of the situation. Russia’s sending troops into Ukrainian territory is not an act of war, but Ukrainians maintaining troops on their territory now claimed to be Russian is in fact an act of war justifying a Belarusian invasion of Ukraine.
Feeding frenzy time fast approaching....
That looks like an engagement photo.
Allegedly?
Alleged by who?
EU is about to put more sanctions on Russia in response to the sham referendums.
The new sanctions will block imports of an additional $7 billion Russian products.
Putin’s main squeeze wants to help. How precious.
Go ahead, Lukeshenko… send them in to their deaths.
third man in, all bets are off...
Some moronic person on here lectured me on how no other country would ever join Russia in this war.
Several will end up fighting with Russia against the USA. Stop letting the government pretend this is Ukraine/Russia. Fighting war via proxy is pretending you’re not at war. We’re at war and have been covertly for a decade.
Ukraine just issued a warning to Belarus that Russian and Belarus troops, equipment and bases in Belarus will be targeted immediately if Belarus joins Russia’s war. Ukraine will take the war to Belarus territory. Lukashenko is now formally on notice.
What is it about World War III that people don’t seem to get?
It’s happening right before their eyes and they still say no!
The people of Belarus do not like Putin and the Russian regime.
“Belarus has allegedly threatened to deploy 100,000 troops in Ukraine”
They can join the 100,000 troops that North Korea sent.
