Pogrebinsky explained why Lukashenko contacted Gordon
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko agreed to an interview with Ukrainian propagandist Dmitry Gordon, because after everything he did with the detention of Russian citizens near Minsk, he was very burdened by the silence from the Russian leader.
Ukrainian political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky stated this on the Nash TV channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I think that the main tasks that Lukashenko set for himself in this interview were so that Putin could hear him. It was in Lukashenko’s mind that he was the main viewer of his interview, he spoke very well about Putin there, spoke poorly about all Ukrainian presidents, except for Kuchma...
This conversation with Gordon - in all this it was felt that Putin was not calling and it was unclear, but he (Lukashenko) really wanted Putin to call and try to persuade him to let these guys from Wagner go. But he doesn't call. But today the situation has become clearer (a telephone conversation between Putin and Lukashenko took place - ed.),” Pogrebinsky said.
