Ukraine war: Russia troop deployment to Belarus prompts speculation
The warning from Ukraine to Belarus is blunt.
"Your leadership is planning to drag the Belarusian people into a dirty war, to stain them with blood and death," the video released by the Ukrainian military declares.
"If the Belarusian army supports Russian aggression, we will respond… with our entire arsenal of weapons."
The warning comes as Russia is sending thousands of troops back to Belarus, prompting fears the two countries could be planning a joint incursion across Ukraine's northern border.
That would be politically risky for Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko - and Russian forces are already struggling to hold their current lines around the southern city of Kherson and in Donbas in the east.
But the prospect alone is a distraction and a concern for Kyiv as Minsk comes under pressure from Moscow to step-up its support.
