Deploying on the border forces Ukraine to maintain a respectable force to face off with them.

I doubt they will actually enter the conflict. They’ve already given away a lot of their helicopters and armor, and at one point their officers warned them against any invasion.

There are a number of Belarusians already in the theater fighting for Ukraine. So Lukashenko’s position is precarious.

Ukraine and Poland have been preparing for this and with NATO and USA help, setting up defenses as well as offensive force over the past 6 months. They’re ready.

If Lukashenko attacks Ukraine, it's the end of his regime. Giving Russia his tanks, helicopters, etc., just weakens his regime. There are quite a lot of Belorussian dissidents in Poland, who could easily return with an uprising. Putting troops who don't want to fight a war of aggression against their neighbors tends to lead to unrest at home.
