US warns Belarus against assisting Russia invading Ukraine
Sakshi Education
The United States warned Belarus that its authoritarian government will also face reprisals if it assists ally Russia in invading neighbouring Ukraine.
They have made clear to Belarus that if it allows its territory to be used for an attack on Ukraine, it would face a swift and decisive response from the United States and its allies and partners.
If an invasion were to proceed from Belarus, if Russian troops were to permanently station on their territory, NATO will have to reassess its own force posture in the countries that border Belarus. The long time strongman of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, is an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
