Russia is actively seeking to pull Belarus deeper into the Ukraine war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned.
Zelenskyy's statement indicates escalating Russian efforts to secure increased military support from Belarus, which has maintained official neutrality despite serving as a staging ground for Russian operations. Moscow has long sought to leverage Belarusian territory and resources to expand its offensive capabilities.
Belarus has faced mounting international pressure regarding its role in the conflict. The country's authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko has balanced ties with Russia against Western sanctions and diplomatic isolation.
