G7 foreign ministers warn Belarus against direct involvement in Russia’s war on Ukraine 

The foreign ministers of the G7 countries published their statement on the Germany’s Federal Forreign Office website.

“We reiterate our call for the Belarusian authorities to stop enabling Russia’s war of aggression, including permitting Russia’s armed forces to use Belarusian territory to launch missiles targeting Ukraine. If the Belarusian authorities more directly involve Belarus in Russia’s war, the G7 will impose overwhelming additional costs on the regime,” the statement says.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Belarus announced that the Kremlin and Minsk started preparing military exercises for 2023.

The American Institute for the Study of War called the possible entry of Belarus into the war against Ukraine unlikely.
