Why Putin goes to Lukashenko/Channel 24 collage
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is going to visit the Belarusian city of Grodno on June 30, 2022. This is the first time he has gone abroad since the beginning of the war.
Vladimir Putin will finally go to convince Alexander Lukashenko to invade Ukraine. Russian human rights activist Mark Feigin told Channel 24 about this.
In his opinion, there is no doubt about it. “That's what he's going there for. But I don't know how Lukashenko will react,” Feigin said.
Note that Putin will go abroad for the first time since the full-scale invasion. He will head to the Belarusian city of Grodno. There, Putin is going to attend the forum of regions of the “Union State”, it will last from June 30 to July 1, 2022.
Putin's selection method for Belarus
“From my point of view, he will not fly there by plane. It is quite possible to get there, even by car. There are a million methods,” the Russian human rights activist noted.
He suggested that the plane could fly and its main board – it is only for distraction. It is not certain that Vladimir Putin will actually be on the plane.
