After the Belarusian Army coup-d'etat against the Ruthenian government in late 2023 occurred. Belarus was thrown into a large scale multi-front civil war that is currently raging on in all regions of Belarus.

RUSSIAN INTERVENTION[]

After Russia invaded Chechnya and Dagestan in December of the same year, the situation for the army was very bleak as they had lost significant ground in the largely Pro-army eastern regions bordering Russia as well as a Polish incursion in the west to retake Bialystok significantly hampered their efforts for victory in the country. This in turn, sparked major disappointment in Moscow whom were funding the Belarusian Army's efforts against the actual government, and forced Russia to intervene on their behalf alongside the Wagner Group to act as an additional fighting force to assist the army as well as keep the Polish from expanding too far into the west.
