    Why would Belarusians side with Russia… it aint like Russians were “nicer” to them than ukrainains, georgians, moldovans, kazakhs, balts, chenchens, jfc i am getting tired listing them. you get the vibe…

      Because Russian troops are stationed within a day’s travel of Minsk and the country depends on Russia for ocean access?

      Same reason Kazakhs have traditionally supported Russia, until they got that new shipping route built that bypasses Russia entirely.

        Moreso, Russia has actively supported the current Belarusian government including helping to put down protests in Belarus.

              Neither is credible: they also claim that the weapons were made in Russia, not that they were given by Russia. Remember the whole “soviet union” thing, where a lot of Eastern European countries still have leftover arms and ammunition from?
