It’s like one huge backdoor invitation which surprisingly, the Russians have not jumped all over.

Because they can't:

a) Ukraine's lines of communication are much shorter, so they can move troops around more quickly than Russia can assemble them in the north which would be detected almost immediately;

b) Russia would need Lukashenko's cooperation to launch a second attack from the north. Not sure that would be forthcoming.

Russia has moved some assets back into Belarus and has recently launched some air attacks from there.
