Lukashenko wants to change power in Lithuania. Are Poland and Ukraine next?

The migration crisis in Lithuania could trigger a process of change of power there, which could be achieved by those forces that advocate normalizing relations with Belarus.

Belarusian political scientist Alesei Dzermant wrote about this in his Telegram channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“Against the background of the inability of the current government to solve the problem, after the failure of the negotiations of Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis in Iraq and the increase in the number of flights from Baghdad to Minsk, a number of major Lithuanian politicians began to openly say that the situation can be corrected only after agreements with Belarus,” Dzermant wrote .

His colleague Alexander Shpakovsky confirms that the migration crisis in Lithuania, which Belarus is deliberately provoking, is Minsk’s reaction to Vilnius’ support for Belomaidan and the fugitive leaders of the Belarusian opposition.

“This, friends, is called an asymmetric response. And there’s someone else next in line,” Shpakovsky threatened.

Let us recall that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko blames, in addition to Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine for destabilizing the situation.

Now, on average, about 100 people per day enter the territory of Lithuania, sometimes even more. So far, according to various sources, there are from 2,5 to 4 thousand citizens of Iraq and a number of other Asian and African countries in the country, but it is expected that by the end of September there will be about 10 thousand. This is comparable to the size of the entire Lithuanian army or police.

“The situation at the border is difficult to predict. We don't know when or how many houses will be needed. The worst scenario is 40 thousand migrants, we must be prepared for this,” said the head of the Lithuanian border service, Rustam Lyubaev, to Delfi.

Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas decided to build a container town for migrants with 40 thousand places in the town of Devianiškės, Šalčininkai district.

“The construction of a town for migrants is bad news for Minsk. It means that the European Union and, in its person, Vilnius are preparing for a long siege by migrants from Belarus and Europe does not plan to sit down at the negotiating table with A. Lukashenko. Lithuania will continue to build fences on the border, intercept migrants, keep them in camps, and try to take them to the countries from which they came, i.e. bear the burdens and financial expenses already familiar to France, Italy, Greece, Germany,” says Russian political scientist Andrei Suzdaltsev, who sympathizes with Belomaidan.

However, a spontaneous protest meeting was already held in Devianiškės, which was attended by people from all over Lithuania. On July 29, a rally will be held in Vilnius near the Government House. The Union of Christian Families calls for the resignation of the Minister of Defense "as a provocateur who incites conflicts between local communities, and as a former KGB agent."

Previously, the Lithuanian authorities tried to build a barbed wire fence on the border with Belarus to counter the influx of migrants. However, its construction failed: the country ran out of wire. Now Estonia will give Lithuania a 100 km batch of thorns free of charge.

Russian political scientist Sergei Markov predicts that the Lithuanian authorities will try to prevent the looming political crisis by transporting migrants to other EU countries.

“I think that secretly, secretly, the Lithuanian authorities welcome these migrants and transport them to Germany, Sweden and so on, carrying out a hybrid sabotage against them. Why do I think this? Because, in my opinion, Lithuanian politicians are mean, immoral and ungrateful. They have already shown all this towards Russia and Belarus, and there is no doubt that they will show the same meanness towards their allies,” Markov said on the Belarusian ONT TV channel.
