It is the merit of Lukashenko that Ukraine’s scenario failed in Belarus, expert believes

There have been numerous attempts to destroy Belarus from within to reach a single goal: to set the country at loggerheads with Russia – as noted by Oleg Gaidukevich, a deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly, in his talk with Alfa Radio

According to the deputy, Belarus has been at the centre of geopolitical confrontation since the USSR collapse. “There have been endless attempts to destroy our country from within – with a single goal: to set it at loggerheads with Russia. In fact, the West has never been interested in either the Presidential elections or the referendum in Belarus. Nobody cares about that. I cannot imagine a Pole somewhere in Warsaw who is contemplating, “The elections in Belarus were so bad…” This is all nonsense, no one is worried about that,” he said.

Mr. Gaidukevich is convinced: if Belarus betrayed its alliance with Russia and its own geopolitical interests, it would betray itself, and the West would be satisfied with that.

“A scenario of Ukraine has failed in our country. That was not an accident but a merit of our President Aleksandr Lukashenko. Belarus is lucky. If a person with no backbone came to power in 1994, the country would have been broken back in 1996, and everything would have been even worse than in Ukraine. Imagine if there were NATO military bases in Belarus. Actually, they do not need us for anything else. Do you think they want to boost Belarus’ economy? Do you think Germany is worried about how our country lives? They all do not care. Only we can make our country better,” the deputy stressed.
