For many years there was an illusion in Ukrainian politics that the Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko is a natural guarantor of non-aggression from the territory of his country..

Ukraine should make every effort to preserve Belarusian sovereignty, which in practice meant support for Lukashenka himself. Because since 1994, the statehood of Belarus and the Lukashenka regime are practically the same thing.. Belarusians had no opportunity to influence what is happening in their own country. And when in 2020 mass protests began in the country against another falsification by the regime of the results of the presidential elections in the country, not only the whole world, but also the Belarusians themselves were able to see how Lukashenka reckons with their opinion.

Therefore, all these 27 years Lukashenka has been interested in only one thing - the power. Maintaining power at any cost. For this, he is ready to sacrifice - and he always did - the interests of his own country and its sovereignty.. And for this he is ready to sacrifice the interests of Ukraine. This aging dictator is a real enemy, and an unprincipled and vile enemy..

Putin at least has an idea - beyond his kleptocratic ways. Putin is obsessed not only with the idea of \u200b\u200bpower, but also with the idea of \u200b\u200brestoring the medieval empire. And Lukashenko is indifferent to the empire, and to Russia, and to Belarus, and to Ukraine..

He only thinks about himself and his family.. And he elevated this philistine attitude to life to the rank of state policy.. Because he's so scary.
