Dictator in Plus: Lukashenko uses "peace" with a prigen for pressure on Putin - isw
The role of the dictator from Minsk, who played a significant role in stopping the military offensive on Moscow, humiliating for Russian leader Vladimir Putin, was indicated by experts. The Government of Belarus, according to analysts, often uses interaction with the Kremlin in its own interests. In the situation with Prigogin Lukashenko, he used his channels to find out the situation on the ground and negotiation.
And success in the dialogue indicates that Lukashenko has a certain impact on Prigogine, which could be used in the future, according to the report. "Lukashenko is likely to use the situation for its purposes, such as delaying the formalization of the Union State with Russia or preventing the use of Putin of Belarusian forces in Ukraine," was added to ISW. Analysts drew attention to the state of deep instability in the Kremlin.
Lukashenko and Prigogine was a short -term solution to the issue, and an attempt at a military coup showed the weaknesses of the Kremlin and the Ministry of Defense of Russia. "The assumption that Prigoine's rebellion was set up with the Kremlin's further reaction and the mediation of Lukashenko is absurd.
And Putin's appeal on television with a call to stop the armed uprising and a warning about the impossibility of the scenarios of the revolution of 1917, and then the requirement of mediation of foreign leaders," . We will remind that representatives of Belarusian opposition on June 25 declared more respect for Prigogine in the environment of Russian occupiers than Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoig.
