Belarusian military exercises have raised fears of a second invasion of Ukraine from the north. While Ukrainians see Belarus as an aggressor, some observers and members of the Belarusian opposition say that not all Belarusians side with Russia. In fact, some Belarusians have decided to prove their allegiance to Ukraine by joining its army. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, foreign soldiers have taken up arms to defend Ukraine. These Belarusian soldiers are fighting with the belief that a Ukrainian victory will lead to a Belarus free of Russian influence, because the former although is an independent state, is a close ally of Russia. VOA's Myroslava Gongadze met with members of a Belarusian regiment before they were sent to the front lines.
