Multi-vector Lukashenko has surrounded himself with a dangerous pro-Western elite - expert
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko surrounded himself with people of pro-Western views, who have now become his greatest concern. threat.
Russian political scientist Rostislav Ishchenko stated this on the air of the radio station “Moscow Speaks,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There will be no pro-Russian politicians in Belarus, because Alexander Lukashenko is mortally afraid of this. Lukashenko cultivated pro-European politicians simply because he believed that the European Union was less of a threat than Russia. Now he realized that there is a greater threat from the West,” he said.
The expert also noted that it is this pro-Western elite, which Alexander Lukashenko selected for his ability to flatter, that poses the greatest danger to the Belarusian president.
“The biggest threat to Lukashenko comes from Belarus itself, or rather from his own circle, because he shaped it and made it what it is. Lukashenko selected his entourage based on the principle not even of personal loyalty, but of demonstration of personal loyalty; these are two different things.
Because a personally devoted person may say unpleasant things, trying to protect you from doing wrong things. And these say what you want to hear, thereby protecting yourself, and they can sacrifice you, if anything happens,” concluded Ishchenko.
Let us remind you that on the eve of the Supreme Court of Belarus announced the verdict in relation to Lukashenko’s strongest political opponent, Viktor Babariko, he was sentenced to 14 years.
