The Kremlin has refuted allegations reported by The Wall Street Journal that Russia is attempting to coerce Belarus into further supporting its military campaign in Ukraine. The WSJ report suggested Moscow is pushing Minsk to become more directly involved in the conflict. Kremlin officials dismissed the report as false, offering no further details regarding discussions with Belarusian counterparts. This denial comes amid ongoing international concerns about Belarus’s potential role in the war, given its close alliance with Russia. Belarus has previously allowed Russia to use its territory to launch attacks on Ukraine, but has maintained it is not directly participating in hostilities. The report and subsequent denial highlight continued tensions and information warfare surrounding the conflict. Reuters reported on the Kremlin’s response.
