Expert: Lukashenko wants, following Pashinyan’s example, to involve Russia in a war
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko will under no circumstances relinquish power and unleash a civil war in the country.
Andrey Suzdaltsev, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, spoke about this on the PolitWera YouTube channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“If Lukashenko does not leave, civil war is guaranteed. It is not Russia that makes decisions here, but Lukashenko. So in 1939, the decision on the entry of France and England into the war was made by Warsaw.
When the mess starts, Lukashenko will need to prove that this is external influence: Poles, Lithuanians, Ukrainians. If this is an invasion, then the Pashinyan incident arises. It is necessary for Russia to come in and fight for Lukashenko, shedding the blood of Belarusians. To be cursed as an occupier. And Lukashenko will wave his arms from the bushes,” Suzdaltsev said.
He predicts that Belarusian protests will not subside, and an extreme opposition will come to power, “which will make every effort to ensure that Belarus goes along the Ukrainian path.”
