Russia is amassing troops in Belarus. They will probably try a last ditch effort to take Kiev, then collapse once they get wiped out for good because let's be real: it won't succeed. Ukraine had almost a year to fortify this area. Even if Lukashenko joins Russia and invades, it won't change a thing, plus Belarus will probably revolt and he knows it.

They're amassing in Belarus so that they can force the Belorussians into the fray with them. I'm sure forcing another army to fight for you at gunpoint won't have any negative repercussions.

The 'wastage' in storage in Belarus will not be a trained or effective fighting force. From what I understand the training of anyone decent in Belarus is for police duty both in occupied territory and to protect Putin Inc . At the moment Russia cannot supply drinking water to troops what hope does any massed mob have?

Belarusians are pissed at Lukashenko since he refused to concede and partisans have been working to sabotage the railways that send equipment to Russia.
