Ukrainian Expert: Lukashenka Ready To Issue Attack Order

But he is afraid of the public reaction.

Putin has long believed he pushed Lukashenka enough to invade Ukraine.

He promised the head of the Kremlin Putin to join the "special operation", but he keeps delaying this moment.

Mykhaylo Samus, the Deputy Director of the Center for the Army, Conversion and Disarmament for International Affairs, expressed this opinion in an interview with the TSN news publisher.

According to him, the decision to enter the war will determin Lukashenka's political life and even his physical existence.

"Most Belarusians don't want this war. When we talk about Russians, the situation is different. The mindset of Russians differs from Belarusians and Ukrainians. Some Belarusians are really geared towards the Soviet era, but the majority would not want to participate in this. The active part of society is against the development of such events, and if Lukashenka orders to cross the border and start hostilities, the opposite effect may occur when the Ukrainian military begins to advance," Mykhaylo Samus emphasized.

He also added that the decision to involve Belarus in hostilities could renew the rebellion in the state itself, and then Lukashenka would once again be under the threat of destroying his regime.
