He and Putin are joined at the hip, so he's up to his eyeballs in support for it, like allowing Russia to rotate troops in and out of fighting across the Belarus border and allowing Russian forces and supply lines clear passage through Belarus.

He is not getting directly involved in the fighting. He seems a little smarter than Putin and realizes getting Belarus into a Russian war would finish him, too.
