Lukashenko, particularly, is friends with Putin. Their friendship has occasionally even sparked worries that Belarus would take a direct involvement in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

On the Russian president’s birthday, a number of Ukrainian authorities used social media to criticize his activities. Ukrainians blamed him for the mounting death toll in the war and rebuked the Russian leader.
