Kremlin To Dismiss Wise Ass Lukashenka

The dictator might meet with an accident or die from a stomach disease.

Aliaksandr Lukashenka is a "Kremlin’s political appointee." It was stated by Russian oppositionist and political expert Konstantin Borovoy on the air of Alesia Batsman’s authorial TV show "Batsman Live" on the NewsOne channel.

"A man who is completely under its control, who will be ready to carry out any Kremlin’s order. Well, yes, he is very demonstrative, it’s obvious, but it's more like the scandal of an offended wife who has not got another fur coat. This extortion is normal. As soon as the Kremlin needs to dismiss Lukashenka, I assure you, he will meet with a car accident or die from a gastric disease within a day," – he said.

Borovoy believes that talks about Russia leaving its troops in Belarus after the joint exercises in September are not serious.

"It’s up to them whether to leave or not. It does not affect the weakening or strengthening of the Kremlin's influence on Belarus. Smart ass Lukashenka pretends that he is independent, that he can take the liberty of independent statements. But, in fact, he is 100% dependent," – the political expert said.

The West-2017 exercises are to be held in Belarus from September 14 to September 20. The RF participates in them.

On July 21, Ukraine's Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak said that West-2017 can be used to start aggression not only against Ukraine, but also against any country in Europe.

On June 30, the head of the Defense Ministry said at a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that holding the West-2017 exercises on the border with Ukraine is a threat to the state.

Commander of the US ground forces in Europe, Lieutenant-General Ben Hodges believes that the Russian-Belarusian exercises West-2017 can fulfill the role of a "Trojan horse."

According to Estonia’s Minister of Defense Margus Tsakhkn, Russia can use the West-2017 exercises to deploy thousands of soldiers in Belarus as a warning to NATO.
