Any significant event can serve as a catalyst.
Armenia took advantage of Russia's weakness, which was bogged down in the war against Ukraine. Could such an opportunity arise for Belarus in the near future? The website Charter97.org spoke with former political prisoner and coordinator of the “European Belarus” civic campaign Andrei Voinich:
— I hope that history will present such an opportunity to Belarusians in the near future. Any more or less significant event could serve as a catalyst: ranging from the death of Lukashenko or Putin to the dictator’s schizophrenia, which would force him, to put it bluntly, to press the red button. Either dictator Lukashenko’s schizophrenia or Putin’s schizophrenia.
We can clearly see now how Belarus is provoking Europe—in particular Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland—with its petty, nasty, aggressive provocations. These are migrants pushing their way across the border, weather balloons, and so on. These, by the way, also include drones flying into EU territory from Belarus.
Lukashenko may have played his hand too close to the fire. This could become not just a trigger, but a catalyst for Ukraine—as it has promised—to respond not just symmetrically, but ten times more forcefully, not against Belarus, but specifically against Lukashenko. And this, in turn, could become a catalyst for a change in power and for a normal, forward-looking course for our country.
