Latushko on whether the Kremlin wants to remove power from Lukashenka/Collage of Channel 24
Today, it is unprofitable for the Kremlin to remove Lukashenka from power, because he obediently fulfills all orders. But the situation may change.
This was told to Channel 24 by the Belarusian oppositionist and former Minister of Culture of Belarus Pavel Latushko. According to him, now Lukashenka is quite suitable for the Kremlin, because he fulfills all the whims of Putin. But who knows what will happen after a while.
At some point, the Kremlin will replace him.
According to Latushko, it is beneficial for the Kremlin that Lukashenko be in power during Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. The self-proclaimed president obediently fulfills all of Putin's demands: from subduing military strategy to partial transfer of sovereignty.
Lukashenka fulfills all powers of attorney. He is slowly giving up sovereignty before our very eyes, completely submits to Russia’s military strategy and controls the protests inside the country,” Pavel Latushko noted. in Belarus. Putin is completely satisfied with this, because he does not have to spoil his own image due to beatings and torture of Belarusian activists.
However, everything may well change over time. Lukashenka's situation is not entirely reliable.
At the right moment, the Kremlin will change him. This moment has not yet come,” Latushko emphasized.

- Putin and Lukashenko agreed on “common steps” regarding Lithuania. But it is not yet known what both dictators planned.
