What does this even mean?

Are they going to invade Belarus to shut down the nuclear weapons?

Why would a nuclear deployment in Belarus mean more press-ganging in the Ukraine otherwise?

Are they just looking for further justification to continue press-ganging teenagers?

Ukraine may need to conscript even more people into military service to potentially fight against Belarus, a key ally of President Vladimir Zelensky has told British television.

David Arakhamia, an MP who heads the faction of the president’s Servant of the People party in the Ukrainian parliament, spoke of a potential clash with Belarus during an interview with SkyNews on Monday. He was commenting on Russia’s announcement last week that it would place tactical nuclear weapons at a facility currently being built on Belarusian soil.

“I think we are facing a real challenge to have a second front opened,” the Ukrainian lawmaker said.

“That would mean a real challenge to get even more people to conscript into the army, because we will need at least eight more brigades to control the frontline.”

What?

However, Arakhamia downplayed his own concerns by saying that much of the border his country shares with Belarus is rough terrain dominated by swamps and forests, which makes it easier to defend. He also acknowledged that despite Kiev perceiving Belarus as “the same aggressor as Russia,” there actually was “no evidence during one year of war … of any Belarussian soldier crossing the Ukrainian border.”

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has allowed the Russian military to use his nation’s territory in its military operation against Ukraine, but has repeatedly stressed that Belarusian troops were not participating in it.

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the decision unveiled on Saturday to place nuclear weapons in Belarus was a step prompted by the UK’s announcement that it would send depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine. Putin did say, however, that Lukashenko “has long been asking” for such weapons to be hosted on Belarusian soil.

It’s just common sense to put nukes in Belarus at this point.

Putin shouldn’t have to explain it.
