Belarus preparing to join the Russians. Sending in airborne troopers. Belarus and Ukraine have generally been good neighbours. No history of bad blood or conflict
Ukraine are also claiming this
"Ukraine’s deputy defence minister Hanna Malyar has claimed Russian forces have lost about 4,300 servicemen. It was not possible for the Guardian to immediately independently verify the figure.
Malyar also said on Facebook that Russian troops have lost about 146 tanks, 27 aircraft and 26 helicopters, Reuters reports."
Kinda hard to believe, but big if true. Begs the question, why is Belarus sending in troopers to back Putin?
