Belaruskaya Vyvedka: Lukashenka Gets Into Hot Water And Chickens Out

The dictator has miscalculated in the conflict between the Kremlin and the PMC Wagner.

Sources of the telegram channel Belaruskaya Vyvedka close to the situation report that there has been a radical rift between Moscow and Minsk.

Lukashenka has overestimated his abilities in the showdown between the Kremlin and Wagner, writes the telegram channel:

- As we reported earlier, Sheiman had been in contact with Prigozhin, and he brought Lukashenka into a final direct confrontation. Lukashenka took advantage of Putin's moment of weakness.

The bottom line: Having secured Putin's initially uncertain agreement to talks, Lukashenka made promises and immediately began to promote himself to the world. Having failed to get a firm agreement, he irresponsibly gave Prigozhin "security guarantees" on Putin's behalf and promised a lot.

One day after Prigozhin's public statements, there was a "showdown" on the phone. Putin "attacked" Lukashenka in his usual "intelligent KGB form", at the same time instructing his media to "destroy" Potato Moose, who had stolen the Pyrrhic victory. The Kremlin elite was unanimously outraged by Lukashenka's spin on a difficult moment for Moscow. Various channels flew "indictments" to Minsk. Lukashenka "took a stand", pretended to be "offended". After a pause, he tried to call Putin. Putin has not answered the phone to this day.

No "Independence Day" congratulations followed.

Lukashenka has chickened out and concentrated all his efforts and resources on calming the situation, but so far without success. There is a general depression in the Minsk Palace. Everyone understands that there has been a failure with Wagner... Prigozhin, realising that Lukashenka's promises to himself and his team were shaky, urgently changed his plans. The Kremlin develops a plan of retaliation against the Wagner fighters, in whose path the foolish Lukashenka has appeared.
