Alksnis: Lukashenko will no longer be able to sit on three chairs
The current deterioration of relations between the West and Belarus plays into the hands of Russia, because it deprives the president of the neighboring republic, Alexander Lukashenko, of the opportunity for multi-vector blackmail, which he did before.
Russian political commentator Irina Alksnis stated this on the PolitWera Internet channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This whole situation is current, scandalous, is it more likely? into the hands of Russia, precisely to deepen integration with Belarus. Belarus is being driven into a corner from all sides and is being pushed towards Russia, the multi-vector nature of Belarus is being cut off from all sides...
The main consequence of this was that he really sharply worsened the situation of his country and himself, and found himself in a situation where it seems that he will finally have to fulfill the conditions that Moscow sets for him.
That is, it will be much more difficult for him to evade now than it was two months ago, not to mention several years ago.
All his flexibility, the ability to dodge imposed conditions, to maintain the position he wants, now he is losing it - precisely because the multi-vector factor, the factor of sitting on three chairs, the factor of flirting with the West has been lost. Because that’s it, the West just started cutting off oxygen in full,” Alksnis recalled.
