Lukashenka Was More Interested in Russia than in Belarus in Negotiating in Ukraine

The Russian puppet only pretends independent.

Aliaksandr Lukashenka uses his visit to Kyiv to demonstrate his relations with the Ukrainian side to the West, coordinator of the European Belarus civil campaign Zmitser Bandarenka stated in the commentary to the Gordon publication .

"Belarus has a very difficult economic situation. GDP has not been growing for six years. And, of course, the war in the Donbass has reduced the trade turnover between Ukraine and Belarus. And the situation requires resolution. In my opinion, Lukashenka represents, among other things, the Russian side on these negotiations. After all, the trade turnover between Ukraine and the Russian Federation has also declined. And some of deals that Kyiv and Moscow used to make directly, now go through Minsk. Plus, Lukashenka demonstrates his relations with Ukraine to the West. And don't pay attention to the fact that Russian troops are in Belarus. Paratroopers, tankmen and artillerymen from Russia deploy near Brest and Hrodna, Bandarenka noted.

According to him, Russian-Belarusian exercises West-2017 jeopardize the security of Ukraine and the Baltic States.

"Belarus is not a donor of the regional security now. Large-scale joint exercises with Russia are a direct threat primarily to the Baltic countries, as well as to Ukraine. In reality Lukashenka is a Russian puppet. But he needs to play independence. In fact, Lukashenka is more interested in Russia than in Belarus in negotiating in Ukraine. (All 4.5 million tons of Belarusian oil products supplied to Ukraine are made from Russian oil).

In general, I want to warn Ukrainians that the dictatorship is contagious. The phrase "your father" sounds insulting to us. I am delighted with the action of Belarusians in Kyiv, and the slogan "To Some Luka Is Father, To Others Is Uncle D*ckhead. " They voiced the point of view of patriots of Belarus. Lukashenka made millions of Belarusians leave their country. So be careful," - Bandarenka stressed.

On July 20 Lukashenka arrived in Kyiv. He held talks with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.
