"Lukashenko Is Preparing For This Scenario."

How can Putin use the Belarusian army?

This is the question Charter97.org asked to ex-political prisoner, coordinator of the civil campaign "European Belarus" Andrei Voynich:

- Putin has used, is using and will use Lukashenko relentlessly, always. No matter how Lukashenko may squirm or resist it, he is only a hostage. A moral hostage of Putin and himself, of his own lust for power.

Today Lukashenko continues provocations against NATO countries, banally launching weather probes with smuggled cigarettes. I will never believe that this is done without the approval of the KGB and Lukashenko.

I mentioned not so long ago on my Facebook the fact that in Belarus in such situations, in critical situations for Russia and Belarus, the fire danger in the forests starts abruptly. Often in rainy weather. That is, the Belarusian authorities declare that the forests can't be visited, a complete ban on visiting forests is introduced due to the fire danger. In fact, we can all see that there is no fire danger.

We can all see that Russia and Lukashenko, no matter how much he wants it, are preparing for an attack on Ukraine, and possibly on NATO countries. I can't say in what time frame, but they are slowly preparing for it. The dictators are preparing for this scenario.

The world will probably see this as a preventive attack, that is, as a defensive attack. But that's not true. We all know that these are, once again, two moral freaks who would do anything to keep their thrones.
