Putin saved Lukashenko. Now integration will become a reality - forecast
At some stage, the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko began to play too much, which almost turned out to have tragic consequences for him.
The PolitNavigator correspondent reports that Alexey Muratov, head of the Central Executive Committee of the Donetsk Republic Organization, said this in an interview with the News Front news agency, answering the question whether the current situation around Belarus will put an end to the multi-vector approach and maneuvering of President Alexander Lukashenko.
According to the publication’s interlocutor, in the 30 years after the collapse of the USSR, all the leaders of the former Soviet republics defended, at best, the interests of their own fiefdoms and their own pockets, and at worst, they served the interests of the West.
“Small countries do not and cannot have full state sovereignty. At some stage, the old man began to play too much, felt that he could be independent and play in a multi-vector game: “both ours and yours.” This led to the fact that he almost lost his power, and possibly his life. If it weren’t for the support from Russia and its leader Vladimir Putin, there could now be a civil war in Belarus, like in Ukraine,” the social activist believes.
He believes that Lukashenko has made certain conclusions.
“And I think that integration between Belarus and Russia will now take place not in words, not on papers, but in real life. This has not happened, in fact, since 1991,” Muratov concluded.
