Putin is unlikely to send his double to Belarus or something. This can be explained by the fact that people like Lukashenka will immediately expose this deception.
Russian opposition politician Gennady Gudkov told Channel 24 about this. He also noted that the only explanation why Putin would arrive in Minsk in person is a demonstration that he is alive and well and capable of anything.
Everything looks like Putin just wants to prove to everyone that he is capable. Indeed, lately a lot of information has appeared about his illnesses and other things, Gudkov emphasized.
According to the Russian politician, Putin has nowhere else to go, except somewhere in Africa. Even in Kazakhstan they are not happy to see him, because everyone remembers how Tokayev smeared Putin the other day. full-fledged entry into the war against Ukraine. But Lukashenka will not save Putin at the cost of his life, Gennady Gudkov is convinced.
“All Lukashenka's “power” rests on his army, which keeps Belarusians in fear. If he now sends troops to die in Ukraine, his own population will destroy him very quickly,” Gudkov notes.
