Self-proclaimed Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has threatened a possible attack on the Suwaki Gap the territory that connects Poland with the Baltic States and separates the territory of the Kaliningrad Oblast from Belarus. The dictator discussed plans to seize parts of Lithuania and Poland with the commander of the Northwest Operational Command, Alexander Naumenko.
During the conversation, Lukashenko said that the Baltic States and Poland constantly complain about this Suwaki Gap and inquired about the width of the corridor, which is just 42 kilometers in a straight line. Its almost nothing. Yet, they behave this way. In such a case [possible attack on the Suwaki Gap ed.], you [Naumenko] will have to confront the Baltic republics And seize part of Poland, Lukashenko said.
The commander of the Northwest Operational Command of Belarus stated, all actions are planned, questions of combat readiness are being worked out, personnel are being prepared.
Lukashenko asked the military commander whether Belarus could retain this territory with its own troops, to which he received an affirmative response.
We are not just going to the areas of combat deployment and training areas; we are specifically going to real areas so that personnel, officers, know the locality, know the roads, know where, how, and what, so that they can make decisions on the ground and be ready for real actions, Naumenko said.
Military analysts consider the Suwaki Gap to be the site of a potential strike by Russia in case of a possible Kremlin war against NATO countries.

Can't vouch in any direction about the source and Daily Mail is... The Daily Mail.

Nobody else is reporting on it so I imagine it's all collectively been declared so absurd it isn't even worth entertaining.

Russia would get to see how to actually win a war in 3 days when Poland stomps Belarus.

Please for the love of God no I am a Lithuanian citizen and they have conscription and my Lithuanian is terrible and like 50 years out of date anyway.

Hopped up on Putin.

Is Russia obligated to help them when NATO retaliates?

Belarus is basically a puppet state so unless this is literally Lukashenko going off on his own (very unlikely), I imagine it's just an excuse to bait NATO into 'attacking' and they can 'come to the defense' of Belarus to widen the Ukranian conflict.

So, in other words, Lukashenko wants to return Brest to Poland?

Poland's in Nato Belarus would be destroyed swiftly
