Lukashenko became part of the Russian “Politburo 2.0”
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko entered a narrow circle of people close to Vladimir Putin and influencing his adoption of important political decisions.
Political strategist Evgeniy Minchenko wrote about this in his TG channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Lukashenko has actually become a co-opted member of Politburo 2.0,” Minchenko wrote.
He previously stated that the so-called “Politburo 2.0” (a term coined by him) would be reformatted.
Yesterday the first telephone conversation of this year between Putin and Lukashenko took place. According to official information, the topic of the conversation was three blocks of cooperation issues: bilateral relations, including general security, the date of a new personal meeting at which opposition to Western sanctions will be discussed, preparations for the meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State.
Last year, Lukashenko met with Putin 10 times and promised to meet even more often this year.
American political scientist Dmitry Evstafiev believes that Lukashenko’s role in Russia has grown significantly after 2020, when he successfully suppressed Belomaidan.
“In the United States, very serious people consider Belarus and President Lukashenko personally as one of the central elements of the structure that did not allow the Americans to achieve a power monopoly in Eurasia.
If after the presidential elections it were possible to destabilize the political regime, then the configuration now throughout Eurasia would be completely different.
This suggests that the disruption of plans for a color revolution in Belarus was a key turning point in American politics. It was then that the decision was made to turn Ukraine into a forceful channel,” Evstafiev said in an interview with the Belarusian ONT TV channel.
