Political Scientist: The Kremlin May 'Split On' Lukashenka

The dictator is totally unsure wether Moscow will take care of his interests.

On October 17, at a meeting with scientists and participants in Antarctic expeditions in Minsk, Lukashenka suddenly declared: if Belarus is not represented at the proposed negotiations on ending the Russian-Ukrainian war, it may lose up to half of its territory.

He did not explain how exactly this could happen, writes political analyst Aliaksandr Klaskouski on Pozirk.

But he did say a revealing phrase: “I have always insisted — I told the Ukrainians and warned Putin: Belarusians must be present at the negotiations on Ukraine.”

This “warned Putin” indirectly shows: Lukashenka is totally unsure wether Moscow will take care of his interests when the conversation turns to a new alignment in the region, a new system of international security.

And in general, no matter how much you boast about your alliance with Russia, the collapse of relations with the West is a very uncomfortable matter.
