Roman Bezsmertny: Lukashenka is "Pseudo-President"

Roman Bezsmertny: Lukashenka is "Pseudo-President"
Roman Bezsmertny

A democratic society could have given Lukashenka a worse quarter in Kyiv.

Former Ukrainian ambassador to Belarus, a famous Ukrainian politician Roman Bezsmertny stated that.

"Why is there Femen in the Presidential Administration?" It is a revenge! This is the revenge for the action in December 2011 in Minsk. I worked as ambassador of Ukraine in Belarus then. I remember how a consul and I were looking for girls in district police departments, in the KGB. They hid them from us. But for the pressure of the embassy, I could not even imagine what it would end with. Girls were found painted with brilliant green paint in the forest near the border!

Does Lukashenka deserve such a reception? Yes! This is too gentle option for the dictator! I do not know how the Femen representative found herself in the Administration... A democratic society could have given Lukashenka a worse quarter! I have always supported and respected friends-Belarusians, presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov, Natallia Radzina, Zmitser Bandarenka and many others!" Roman Bezsmertny wrote on Facebook.

When commenting on Lukashenka's visit to Kyiv the politician said in the interview to Radio Svaboda:

"The visit was official. According to the protocol, the date was determined as least six months before the event. This is not a today-tomorrow visit. The circumstances of the visit of the person with "collective farm" syndrome are clear. Ukraine has other problems and priorities. This is the situation when the Ukrainian party finds its reasonable to consider Lukashenka "pseudo-president": the control over the economy, the policy, the army is not in his but in the Kremlin's hands.

On the other hand, Ukraine today has colossal needs for military-technical cooperation because of the war. Ukraine lacks components of weapons, spare parts, details to equipment, which both countries inherited from the USSR. These inconsistencies, insignificant phrases at the joint briefing have their ground. Most likely, the issue of military-technical cooperation was discussed separately. Let's pay attention to the route - Minsk-Moscow, Minsk-Kyiv. Lukashenka saves himself. His rating is all-time low. I would not recommend Ukrainian presidents call Lukashenka "a friend."

All his assurances that "the war will not begin" ... He himself must be afraid. A part of troops that come from Russia to exercises West-2017 will not leave Belarus. Russia's strategic calculations are based on confrontation with NATO forces. New tactical units and personnel of NATO countries are deployed in Lithuania, Poland and other Baltic States. It is obvious that now Putin will deploy equipment and personnel at two military bases at the forefront. Knowing this, both sides have been silent today and only talked about things causing no argues.

In 2011 the trade turnover amounted to $7 billion and today it hardly exceeds $2 billion. The largest joint Ukrainian-Belarusian projects - electricity export, cooperation on oil refining - are failed. What kind of trust can we talk about?" Bezsmertny wonders.
