‘Lukashenka To Be Sent To Exile In Chita’

The situation for him is hopelessly lost.
Aliaksandr Lukashenka has again made a number of strange statements, noting that there is allegedly no evidence that he allowed Russians to attack Ukraine from the territory of his state.
Igor Eidman, a political scientist and sociologist from Germany, said this to Channel 24, noting that the dictator is afraid because of increased pressure from Vladimir Putin.
According to Eidman, Lukashenka has already made a lot of signals to the West. Saying that Putin himself came to him, and he has nothing to do with it. It is clear that he decided to play a fool.
Lukashenka behaves this way, as the political analyst explained, because he is very afraid of Putin's strengthening and that Russia will achieve some success in Ukraine. If that happens, Belarus will be next.
‘Putin has an idea-fix - to recreate the USSR. The Soviet Union collapsed as a result of a meeting in Belavezhskaya Pushcha that included Boris Yeltsin, Leonid Kravchuk and Stanislau Shushkevich. And Putin considers it his life's task to gather the anti-Belavezhskaya Pushcha and restore, if not the USSR, at least the Russian Union from Russia itself, as well as Ukraine and Belarus. In fact, to create a new version of the Russian empire,’ he said.
At the same time, Lukashenka does not need this, because he has completely different strategic goals, namely, he wants Belarus to ‘milk’ Russia together with China so that Putin would give him money, help him with propaganda and with thugs who would suppress any protests.
At the same time, however, Lukashenka wants Putin to stay out of Belarus' internal politics and not to annex it to Russia. He wants Belarus to be the ‘hereditary kingdom’ of Lukashenka's family.
‘Lukashenka wants to pass the ‘throne’ to his son - Kolia. And Putin doesn't need him, it's important for him to put some Russian governor-general in Belarus,’ said the political analyst.
He added that Lukashenka would be sent in ‘honorary exile’ to Chita, or in the best case - to Viktor Yanukovych to Moscow region.
Such a prospect does not suit the dictator, and so he urgently needs to negotiate with the West to be supported in this situation so that he can once again balance between Russia and the Western world.
‘However, the situation is hopelessly lost for him. The West will not negotiate with Lukashenka, just as it did with Putin, and will not play any games with him,’ Igor Eidman is sure.
