It is necessary, without hesitation, to sever all relations with the Belarusians, and not to give a damn about the emerging thousand-kilometer Ukrainian-Belarusian front.
The ex-ambassador of Ukraine to Belarus Roman Bessmertny stated this on the Kyiv TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Unfortunately, the political leadership does not distinguish between military-tactical, political and diplomatic steps. “You don’t want to” or “you have a motive not to shoot”? Tell (addresses the Belarusian leadership - ed.) that in terms of tactical approaches, we will refrain from doing so. But in the current situation, it is unacceptable not to sever diplomatic relations, because from the point of view of absolutely all norms of international law, in fact, such relations have already been suspended,” he was indignant.
The former ambassador is convinced that the departure of Ukrainian citizens will “force the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko to moderate his ardor.” He also expressed dissatisfaction with the EU’s inaction on the issue of “re-education” of the wayward leader.
“What needs to be done? It is necessary to evacuate the diplomatic corps from there, call on the Ukrainians to return, etc. And even after this, Lukashenko will sit down. He won't be afraid, but he will sit down. But for some reason this is not being done. This indicates that there is a misunderstanding of the tools that exist, because they are very broad.
I understand that now someone can come out and say that “From the point of view of the military-tactical 2 thousand kilometers of front line, we will refrain from this, because this and that.” And diplomatic, political, consular things - this suggests that there is a certain misunderstanding of the situation, a lack of awareness of the effectiveness of such mechanisms, and even worse, they look at this in Berlin, Paris and think, “What are you thinking there?”, he lamented. Immortal.
