Global concern following Belarus’ involvement in the war in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine takes on a new dimension afterthe announcement by the president of neighboring Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, that his country’s army will deploy a joint military force with Russia on the border. In essence, this is a direct escalation of the war, which the planet is watching with bated breath, as the ramifications this move will have and in what way both Kyiv and the West will respond are still unknown.

Preparations for the involvement of Belarus began as soon as the bridge connecting Russia to Crimea was hit two twenty-four hours ago and Putin blamed the Ukrainian secret services. Lukashenko, according to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti, is quoted as saying after the bridge bombing that “we will militarily strengthen Russia’s power” and that “this is provided for by our joint agreements” once the threat level has reached where it is today. In fact, according to imgs cited by France’s Liberation and Germany’s Bild newspapers, the leader of Belarus has ordered his secret services to take “all the necessary anti-terrorist measures to ensure the security of our country’s territory”.

Invasion from Belarus

The truth is that Mr. Putin is in a difficult position, especially after the bombing of the Crimean bridge, because even if a foreign power is behind this move, Russia would not be able to admit it, as it would make it look powerless. against hostile actions now aimed at its territory. Several foreign analysts report that this development brings closer the strategic choices that the Russian president will have to make regarding the occupation of southern Ukraine. His forces in the region face supply problems as well as operational issues, as they are constantly under counter-attacks from the Ukrainians who may not have Western soldiers with them, but they have Western weaponry that is constantly being updated.

Will it hit with nukes?

The Kremlin does not want to show weakness and this could be one of the reasons for using nuclear weapons. But not on a large scale because that would automatically mean the outbreak of a Third World War that no one would win – instead it would depopulate vast areas on both sides. In the present phase has begun a crescendo of missile attacks against Kiev and other Ukrainian cities since early morningwith the number of victims constantly growing.

It is even worth noting that Kyiv (the capital of Ukraine) is being targeted for the first time after more than three months of war.
