Lukashenka Fusses Himself Into Corner

The pressure falls on the dictator.

The main dilemma in Lukashenka's palace now is: will Putin invite him to celebrate his birthday or will he have to settle for the BRICS summit in Kazan? This is reported by the Telegram channel “Nick and Mike”.

If he does not invite him, this means that it will be almost impossible to negotiate a 7th term. More precisely, clear and open support for the nomination. Kazan is very far away, all the terms of the “election imitation” operation will be under threat.

And it is also unclear whether it is worth cutting a window to the West or, on the contrary, sealing all the cracks. How not to scare Russia with maneuvers in the West and how to simultaneously get a hint of a maneuver that can be sold to the Kremlin?

Several months of unsystematic fuss on the external contour not only did not improve, but also worsened the situation.

And then a new package of sanctions comes into force and the ICC will conduct an investigation into bringing Lukashenka to trial on Lithuania's claim. Total frustration.

Chaos and lack of success create fertile ground for internal friction. Some connect their future with Russia, some with Lukashenka, but there are also those who think about the reality after the blue-fingered one and without Russia. Lukashenka cannot start purging any of the two not very loyal groups, since there are simply no people to replace them. They even have to get former guards from prisons.

The room for maneuver will narrow even more in October. And time is running out.
