Changes In Ukraine To Affect Belarus As Well

Circular waves will provoke changes in the neighbouring countries.

Regarding the discussion on Zelensky's interview with the Washington Post. You know, timeliness is one of the most important categories in the modern world.

And there are many examples to be found in relation to Ukraine (our traditional post-Soviet problems, weak institutions in particular) and in relation to the West (starting with a soft response to the war against Georgia in 2008).

However, it is much more important to look into the future and see the present.

That's why I would focus not on what and how the government did or didn't do back in October, but on what needs to be done now. This is not a taboo on criticism (in democratic systems it is common and inherent), but something on which energy and effort should be directed.

Well, then. I often write and I will write again: apart from the front, the topic of the rear, the internal transformations and changes that make us stronger (and therefore invulnerable) from within, is no less important.

More and more. If the transformation in Ukraine is successful, then, like the circular waves from a stone thrown into the water, it will provoke (in a good way) changes in a number of countries in the former Soviet space. In Belarus, for example, after the fall of the current regime. And in Russia, too.
