Countries that border Belarus
5 land neighbours: Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Ukraine. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
5 neighbours, and 7 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 5 land borders are joint 6th-most in Europe — level with Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania and Slovakia. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 7 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Russia is the most connected of them, with 14 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Europe board alongside Belarus, and on the world board with everyone else in Europe.

The capital
Minsk
