"Absorption of Belarus by Russia": Why Lukashenko spreads this thesis - an expert explanation

To spread: President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko is actively spreading the thesis about the possible absorption of the country by the Kremlin. According to the expert, so he tries to reduce sanctions by the United States. According to the founder of the organization "White Legion" Sergey Bulba on the air of Kyiv24, Lukashenko's rhetoric is part of a strategic game. "It is no accident.

During the last cadence of Trump, they built mutual understanding, selected approaches to him," the expert said. According to him, Lukashenko's argument is based on the fact that excessive sanction pressure allegedly forces Belarus to be fully dependent on Russia. This was the basis for the partial abolition of restrictions on the part of the United States. "First of all, the removal of some of the sanctions is the implementation of the concept that they drive Belarus in full dependence on Moscow.

Lukashenko will then ask for restrictions from potassium fertilizers to be able to export them. He also tries to sell himself as a specialist in Putin and Synst. Earlier, John Cole, Deputy Special Representative of the US President for Ukraine, said Washington was considering the restoration of his embassy in Belarus. He did not name specific terms, emphasizing that the process is still in the negotiation stage.

The diplomat added that the relationship between Minsk and Washington is now "good but not different. " Recall that the United States in 2020 imposed a number of sanctions against Belarus after mass protests and repression against the opposition. At the same time, Lukashenko tries to balance between Moscow and the West, using the threat of loss of sovereignty as an argument for dialogue with the US and the EU.
