That may be the single largest misstep by Ukraine to date. They have followed Napoleon's adage "never interrupt your enemy when they are making mistakes..." to date, but giving a casus belli to the other side when your resupply is dependent on the support of the rest of the world is not a great leap forward.
Russia was probably about to go that way with the connivance of Lukashenko acting in self-preservation to sell out Belarus to Putin.
Alternative view, Ukraine gets a popular uprising of Belarus citizens that have had enough of Lukashekos's hemorrhoid hunt around the nether regions of Putin.
Putin needs a SELV LED lighting strip within his colon to assist Lukashenko find his way forward.
Dark days indeed
(SELV is optional. Prefer 240KVa, but, you can't have everything).
