Under the pretext of an exercise, Belarus has deployed its army to the state border with Ukraine. Also taking part are mercenaries from the notorious Russian militia “Wagner” and some Russian special forces. How dangerous is the situation?
Asked by Krone, Ryhor Astapenia, a Belarusian political scientist at the renowned political think tank Chatham House, does not assume that dictator Alexander Lukashenko, although a close ally of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, wants to get involved in the war. “This is a political maneuver,” says Astapenia. “Given the situation in the Kursk region, where the Ukrainian army is making gains on Russian soil, Lukashenko wants to assure Putin of his loyalty. But he will not go to war.”
