Landsbergis: Lukashenka Can Disappear if Disobeys Putin

Landsbergis: Lukashenka Can Disappear if Disobeys Putin
VYTAUTAS LANDSBERGIS

Taking into consideration the set of the signed agreements, Russia can perfectly use the Belarusian army for aggression upon neighbours.

The first leader of Lithuania after independence was proclaimed, Vytautas Landsbergis told Radio Svaboda about possibilities of Belarus’ being drawn into military conflicts on the side of Russia.

- Several Russian military bases are functioning in Belarus. Does Lithuania view them as a threat? Could Lukashenka be trusted?

- We know more. Not only about bases, as there are different agreements and establishes rules of coexistence between Russia and Belarus, and in the light of these rules it could be said that there is a unified militaristic power, as the border of Belarus is served by Russians, Russian troops.

They have control over the Belarusian military forces, and they can push even purely Belarusian units to act against some of the neighbours – just to act out some “green” or “motley” little men – and then to say: these people are not us, it’s Belarus. Do Belarus and the Belarusian nation understand this danger, the fact that they could find themselves in a set-up, and that by their hands and their blood the dirty work for Russian imperial policy could be done?

Alyaksandr Lukashenka is certainly trying to dissociate himself from the war in Ukraine, and possibly he won’t be ordered to participate? And what if he would be ordered to? Would he dare to disobey and to disappear from the agenda on the next day? He could be served “tea” as well.
