“Lukashenko is leaving. The future of Belarus is determined in Moscow"
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko will no longer take part in the elections.
Military-political expert Yakov Kedmi stated this in an interview with Israeli ITON.TV, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“He himself said that Lukashenko is leaving. As soon as the next elections are announced after the adoption of the new constitution, Lukashenko leaves the political arena. Nobody knows who will come instead of him. As long as events continue like this, Belarus and Russia will become more and more closer, and relations between Belarus and its near and far Western neighbors will deteriorate more and more. To what extent this will come, I don’t know. All options are open here. A lot depends on what Russia will be like in the future. The future of Belarus is being determined today in Moscow. If Moscow is capable of defining its national interests and, within their framework, determining what will happen to Belarus, it will determine this. If she is unable to do this, Russia will not exist,” the expert noted.
He sees nothing reprehensible in the fact that Belarus could deliberately land an Irish plane, knowing that wanted extremist Roman Protasevich was on board.
“Any state that believes that it needs it can act in this way. In the 70s, we grounded a passenger plane that was flying from Beirut because we thought that the leader of one of the Palestinian terrorist organizations was there. He didn’t board at the last minute, but we landed the plane. Two Mirages took off, told the pilot to “sit down,” and he sat down. This was done by many countries that believed that there was a person on the plane who, according to their laws, was a criminal,” Kedmi said.
