“We know that Russia wants to draw Minsk into the war from the beginning of a full-scale invasion, we are talking about the direct participation of the Belarusian army. However, Alexander Lukashenko continues to maneuver, and the chances of Belarus’ active participation in the war are now even less than a year ago,” the observer is convinced.
Lukashenka has arguments that would help protect him from this step. In particular, the service he rendered Putin by saving him from the Wagnerite rebellion can be such an argument.
