Every Thursday morning at 8:30, DGAP invites experts and high-level guests to discuss the latest developments in geopolitics. This week, we will focus on the role of Belarus in the Russian war against Ukraine. The country’s role in the war, as well as the ongoing brutal repression of dissidents at home, has been recently overlooked. In the beginning, we will provide a brief update on the most recent military situation in Ukraine before discussing how the latest developments in the Russo-Belarusian relationship will affect the war in Ukraine, and what Western leaders can do in response.
