Ukraine War: Will Putin's ally Belarus join the conflict?

Retired Air Vice-Marshal, Sean Bell, gives his assessment on Belarus's involvement in the war, saying "Belarus's leader, Aleksandr Lukashenko, is a bit of a puppet for Putin".

Around 90 per cent of the military said they will not get involved in the war, and a regiment of Belarusian soldiers is actually fighting for Ukraine against Russia, largely because their president is so unpopular in Belarus.

Russia - the country that used to have the 2nd most powerful military in the world. Now it has the 2nd most powerful military in Ukraine.

Belarus has BEEN INVOLVED FROM THE START.

Dmitry Peskov: Grains ships are in danger without Russian protection.
UN: from who?
Peskov: From Russia.

If my big brother asked me to help him win a fight he started I’d lose all respect for him 😂😂😂

Imagine the humiliation to Russia if they had to beg Belarus to join the fight after already taking their tanks and ammo, and begging Iran and North Korea for ammo, missiles and drones.

So unfair that Russia attacks Ukraine from positions well outside of Ukraine, but Ukraine is expected to defend itself without attacking any position outside of its territory. Moscow is a military target by any rational thought process.

What Russia's getting 90 tanks from Belarus😂 . Man i have been fooled by US media portraying Russia is a badass adversary with 2nd strongest millitary in the world. 🤣

3:00: Russia pulling out of grain deal is a good idea. On the one hand, none of those "starving" third world countries needed that grain enough to oppose Russia at the UN or to send a single soldier to protect it. On the other hand, at the rate Russia is losing its Black Sea fleet, it will soon no longer be a threat to grain or anything else. More efficient to leave Russia out of the discussion. Just sink their ships.

Take the handcuffs off of Ukraine. That's a bargaining chip needed. Long range missiles and no restrictions on location of military targets.

[HomestarCrawler]

Uh oh, if other countries join, then Russia might no longer be able to hold on to the spot of 2nd strongest military in Ukraine.

[latexbuster]

Russia using large strategic bombers to launch these missiles from within Russian and Belarusian air space; looks like in the coming days there might be another accident with someone lighting a cigarette at one of the airfields.

[ryanhartnett]

Russia starts a war with a country 28x smaller and is losing badly. Biggest military blunder in history?

[EyFmS]

Lukashenko should lend some hair to Putin, he's losing more and more everytime Ukraine deals a crushing blow to his ego 😁.

[DjWesRolan]

I look forward to his analysis every day. Tuning in from Florida!

[marksoreilly]

Lukashenko is basically Smithers from The Simpsons

[TheBestDog]

"Putin leaves, and suddenly, Lukashenko is short of support." Understatement of the decade *LoL* 😂

[himoffthequakeroatbox]

He might end up literally dangling from something if he tries. Say he uses half the army to invade, half to stay at home and keep order, then he still needs half the army to stop the other two halves mutinying. Doesn't add up somehow.

[alexludavertigo]

I see where this is going. "It wasn't us this time!" - the Germans 🤣

[lalailalai]

I know one day Ukraine will get everything back❤❤❤.

I honestly thought Russia was a super-power. Thank goodness they are one of those toothless dog. This war has really exposed alot.
