Thoughts on Ukraine – Will Ukraine invade Belarus and try to grab Russian nukes?
Whilst watching the daily update here
The thought occurred to me that, maybe, Ukraine will seek revenge on the Belarus incursion at the start of the war when Belarus invaded Ukraine all the way down to the outskirts of Kiev.
The Russians withdrew when a peace proposal – scuppered by Boris Johnso – was (almost) signed – so did Belarus.
From March 2023:
Russian tactical nukes in Belarus: What does this mean? – DW – 03/27/2023
“Russia will deploy tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, the first time Moscow has based arms outside Russia in decades. Defense experts warn this could reduce NATO response time in the case of an attack.”
Maybe Belarus has beefed up its armed forces, but according to this, Belarus has only 63,000 troops – spread veer a large area? - Armed Forces of Belarus - Wikipedia.
How far would, say, 20,000 Ukrainian troops backed up with air support and drones replete with a lot of western weapons get into Belarus, before meeting ay serious resistance from the bulk of the Belarus armed forces?
Fos Ukraine know where the nukes are (American intel perhaps?) – the ukes are probably not I Minsk!
Just a thought.
Here’s a few stories recently posted in the MSM.
Belarus bolsters air defence forces along Ukrainian border (yahoo.com)
“The Defence Ministry said earlier on Saturday it had information showing Ukraine had been moving more troops, weapons and military equipment to the northern Zhytomyr region, which borders Belarus.”
Kremlin says report that Ukraine is reinforcing Belarus border is a worry | Reuters
“MOSCOW, July 1 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Monday that a Belarusian military report that Ukraine had been moving more troops, weapons and military equipment into its northern Zhytomyr region, which borders Belarus, was a cause for concern.”
Presumably, the US and NATO have no problem with Ukraine capturing Russian nukes in Belarus.
Presumably, Poland would not allow the Ukrainian Air Force to use its airfields to attack Belarus?
Onwards!!!

No - it is unlikey under the best conditions. With the Russians advance along the entire front they are in a fight for survival right now.
It would be viewed as a NATO invasion. Only a truly STUPID group of people would even imagine that. WWIII ensues and we all die. Gates et all have their oxygen rich bunkers ready to go for their ‘wilding’ dream. Nukes leave nothing.
