What about the announced deployment of Belarusian troops alongside Russia?

Minsk and Moscow will deploy a joint military group, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced on Monday, October 10, without specifying where it will be deployed and how many men it would be made up of. To justify this intervention, the details of which have yet to be defined, Alexander Lukashenko affirms that Ukraine is planning attacks on its territory. “If you want peace prepare for war”declared President Lukashenko who, until now, had contented himself with lending his territory to the Russian army for its offensive against Ukraine.

So, what credibility should we give to this threat? “It’s a question to ask your psychiatristanswers Tuesday, October 11 the ambassador of Ukraine in France, Vadym Omelchenko, at the microphone of franceinfo. The whole world knows who attacked whom from the earliest days. It is clear that Belarus is involved in the conflict.”

And it is a little more every day, explains Valery Kovalevski, representative in kyiv of Svetlana Tikhanovskaia, the Belarusian leader in exile. For him, Alexander Lukashenko is just a puppet in the hands of the Kremlin. “His whole political life depends on the will of the Kremlin. He has lost all possibility of making a decision on his own and because of this, the sovereignty of Belarus is seriously threatenedslice Valery Kovalevski. Belarus cannot pursue the policy it should pursue to defend its national interests. This is one more step that shows that the country is defending Russia’s interests.” Defends the interests of Russia, and therefore becomes an accomplice to the crimes committed by the Russian army in Ukraine. This entry of Belarusian forces into Ukraine would mark a new escalation of the conflict.
