Meh, Belarus helping Russia was pretty much a given. Many of the kinds of sanctions being put in place against Russia over the last few days were already in place against Belarus. Belarus today is what Russia wants Ukraine to become: a vassal state run by a Putin-friendly tinpot dictator. It was given that the Belarussians were helping the Russians. There has effectively been a rehashed Iron Curtain at the Belarus-Poland border for years now.
