Here are the companies leaving Belarus, one of Russia's closest allies, because the country supports Putin's invasion of Ukraine

During the invasion, Lukashenko has allowed Russian forces to operate from Belarus' border with Ukraine.

In February, Lukashenko spoke to the possibility of Belarusian forces helping Russian troops in the invasion, saying, "Our troops are not there, but if it becomes necessary, if Belarus and Russia need them, they will be there."

After many Western leaders questioned Putin's mental state amid the invasion, Lukashenko rose to his defense, saying Putin is "a completely sane, healthy person."

Lukashenko has also proposed that Belarus and Russia build a joint economic policy after both of their economies were hit hard by sanctions over the invasion.
