Piontkovsky about Lukashenka and Russian provocations/Channel 24 collage
< strong _ngcontent-sc88="">On the night of June 25, Russian bombers flew into the territory of Belarus and launched rocket attacks on Ukraine from there. This is such a provocation to draw Belarus into the war against Ukraine. However, Lukashenka will continue to try to avoid this.
Andrey Piontkovsky, a Russian publicist, told Channel 24 about this. According to him, for 30 years they have been trying to drag Lukashenka either into the war or into Russia, but he desperately resists.
“He has a lot of practice and experience in deception. My conclusion is winds Lukashenka, he is a Belarusian rat and will be able to wind through, because sending an army to Ukraine is mortally dangerous,” says Piontkovsky.
In his opinion, Putin's show-offs are no longer are taken seriously because it is a losing country. And Lukashenko sees it too.
Russian provocations will not affect Lukashenko
According to Piontkovsky, this is an obvious provocation from Russia. “This is the same as setting fire to and blowing up a house in Ryazan, as a result of which Putin became the leader of the nation,” he said.
This is from the same series – to call back fire from Ukraine and thereby force Belarus to enter the war. But they won’t outplay Lukashenka with such cheap show-offs,” the publicist said.
