“All male citizens between the ages of 18 and 60 must report to a recruitment agency or municipality.” Photos and videos of such requests from the Belarusian capital Minsk have been going around the world in recent days.
The opposition in Belarus warns of a possible mobilization of the army. “The count of all conscripts in Belarus is practically complete,” said exiled opposition politician Pavel Latushka. Is there support from dictator Alexander Lukashenko for Russia in the war in Ukraine?
Participation in the war would mean the end of Lukashenko
The Belarusians regard mobilization as inevitable, the “Krone” learns from local informants. So far, however, these are only martial signals from Lukashenko to reassure Putin of his loyalty. Going to war would mean the end.
The Belarusian soldiers know that they only serve as cannon fodder for the Kremlin. There is a great risk for Lukashenko that they will turn against him or defect. However, if the Belarusian army came under the authority of the Kremlin, Lukashenko would no longer be of any use to Putin.
