It's about the hundred thousand Russian troops they hosted last year...
Kinda like the Poles and the Balts and the Romanians hosting US troops? ;-)
While it is true that Lukashenka has been doing anything possible to avoid becoming part of fighting, he is not some White Knight. He is pursuing his dictatorship interest and simply wants to survive when pukin kicks the bucket.
His regime inside the country is probably even more totalitarian than putin's - make no mistake about it.
He wants his country to survive this war simply from his personal interest standpoint. He's been running away from pukin's hug because he doesn't want to be dragged into the shithole.
He is still under the naive presumptions that his involvement can be considered superficial, not making him a party to the conflict.

The War on Poets
Snippet: The "man of letters" is a species that today thrives more readily in European soil than in the United States (where there is much more competition from business and entertainment) and Ales Bialiatski is one such specimen, a scholar of Belarusian literature and language, a founder of writers' associations, a former director of the Maksim Bahdanovič Literary Museum in Minsk. He is also a nationalist in the happier sense of that often-unhappy word, having been a secret organizer of the Belarusian independence movement during the Soviet era, and he boasts of having been the first to show up at city hall in Minsk (where he was a city councilman) with a pre-Soviet Belarussian flag, the first one to be flown from the municipal building in the capital announcing the impending independence of the republic, which was realized two weeks later. Ten years ago, he was awarded the Václav Havel Human Rights Prize, and last year it was the Nobel Peace Prize.
Of course, they've got him locked up in a dungeon.
it was irony
...the developments around Belarus are very, very interesting.
For instance, the mystery behind Lukashenka's trip to China.
