The US and NATO believe that Belarus could join Russia in its war against Ukraine, US and NATO officials told CNN. It is increasingly likely that Belarus will enter the conflict, “Putin needs support. Anything would help,” the official explained. A Belarusian opposition source said that Belarusian combat units are ready to go into Ukraine as soon as the next few days, with thousands of troops prepared to deploy. In this source’s view, this will have less of an impact militarily than it will geopolitically, given the implications of another country joining the war.
