Andrei Suzdaltsev: Kremlin Knows Lukashenka Politically Is ‘Wounded Bird’, Not Even Lame, But Legless Duck

The dictator brought absolutely nothing from Sochi.

There has been no result that Minsk needs (after the meeting in Sochi - edit.). According to the first “leaks”, Lukashenka was recommended to develop a “national dialogue”, to form an opinion in support of the constitutional reform, Russian political scientist Andrei Suzdaltsev writes on his Telegram channel.

It is noticeable that the issue of “unprecedented external pressure on Belarus” was discussed in the format of an analysis of the international situation, and the President of Russia (Biden, Europe, etc.) spoke more about this. The Belarusian ruler listened. This suggests that both Putin and Lukashenka are well aware of the true causes of the Belarusian crisis.

Lukashenka quickly realized that all his “approaches” with the suddenly “revived” integration and NATO's readiness to invade Belarus are politely accepted, but somehow they “don't play”. You can't just give money. Naturally, one can ignore public opinion in Russia, which has already pensioned Lukashenka off, but in Moscow there is an understanding that it is pointless to give money for Lukashenka even in the format of investments.

So they got by with the promises to “consider”, “return to this issue”, “there is an understanding of the importance of this problem.” So Lukashenka will bring promises back to Minsk.

There is an understanding that now Lukashenka is, in political terms, a “wounded bird”, not even a “lame”, but a “legless duck”, and in this state he can cause much trouble ... So they were openly trying to pacify him with promises, but nothing more ...
