Will Belarus once again become the launchpad for a Russian offensive on northern Ukraine, and could Belarusian troops be pushed into the fight despite the risks to Lukashenko’s survival?
The memory of 2022 still hangs over Minsk. Belarus allowed Russian forces to stage the assault on Kyiv, and that decision tied Lukashenko’s fate even more tightly to the Kremlin. As Russia faces mounting pressure on the battlefield, the idea of reopening a northern axis has returned to the conversation.
Belarusian forces are not capable of a large scale offensive on their own. Any operation from Belarus would require Russian troops, Russian armor, and Russian logistics. That means Moscow would need to pull units away from its current fronts, creating vulnerabilities that Ukraine could exploit. The move would also force Ukraine to divert forces northward, stretching its already limited manpower. A Russian mobilization would solve that issue for Russia, while creating other problems.
Lukashenko has reasons to resist. He has tried to maintain a fragile balance between dependence on Moscow and limited engagement with Western actors. Sending Belarusian soldiers into Ukraine would destroy that balance and expose his regime to unpredictable consequences.
Still, Putin is pressuring Belarus to do more. If Russia decides that a new axis is necessary to change the dynamics of the war, Minsk may have little choice but to comply. Ukraine must be ready for the possibility, even if the probability remains uncertain
