The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is going through, in 2026, a phase marked by the consolidation of a war of attrition, in which the ability to sustain military operations, replenish personnel, and exhaust the adversary’s resources has acquired increasing importance.

In June 2026, Belarus intensified its strategic support for Russia's war effort, expanding cooperation in military infrastructure, logistics, economy, and defense. Although Minsk continues to avoid direct troop involvement in combat, this deepening of joint actions significantly strengthens Moscow's campaign. Recent movements indicate that the country is gradually preparing to take on an even more active role in the conflict.
