At this point, I’m not sure how it would even help. Muscovy doesn’t have sufficient quality of troops to attempt another push on Kyiv, and if Belarus joins, what’s to stop Ukraine from tagging in Poland and the Baltics?
Lukashenko’s army didn’t join in when it looked like Russia was going to win, now it’s been a year and a half and not only has has Putin run the Russian army, Kadyrovites, separatists, Wagner and other PMCs ragged he’s pinched much of Belarus’ stocks of heavy weapons. Even if Luka and his generals were forced at gunpoint to attack Ukraine they have piss all to attack with.
Russia couldn’t take Kyiv at the start of the war, when Ukrain was unprepared and Russian forces were fresh, had the best of their equipment.
Since then, Ukrain has had plenty of time to fortify the region and Belarus border, is better equipped, and has reserves plus veteran troops.
If Belarus tries to invade, I think that the forces Ukrain currently has in the region would probably be enough to defeat them.
