Going to Belarus while this situation in Ukraine
What do you think, is it wise to travel Belarus while all these happening with Ukraine?
My fiancée lives in Minsk and we planned that I will come to her in April from German by car. And I found that from now all belarusian boarders are opened. (justarrived.by reports this)
So you know, she says it's quit in Belarus. But I've got so many doubts

I'd try and get her out without going in. You don't want to become another government kidnap victim.
Do you mean "it's quiet"? Look Belarus brought a commercial aircraft down with two fighters last year because they wanted to kidnap 2 people.

The US State department has Belarus listed as a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory. From what I have read on the State Department website, they have closed the embassy in Minsk and ordered the departure of US government employees.

Even Ireland is listed as Level 4: Do Not Travel. It seems the US State Department doesn’t want US citizens to travel anywhere these days.
In the case of Belarus, you don’t say which country you are a citizen of, but if your embassy is closed you will have difficulty getting help if detained by the authorities or get into trouble in some other way. A westerner travelling in Belarus these days might be regarded with some suspicion, so I wouldn’t risk travelling there just now.

Sorry didn't notice that you are driving.
Wait times on Polish Belarus border crossings

The border is open in both directions.
As far as I know, things are normal in Poland and Belarus.

Hard to imagine "things are normal in Poland" https://freepolicybriefs.org/2022/03...ees-in-poland/

Take care if you cross the border into Belarus
