Lukashenko has driven himself into dead end, he has no room for maneuver - White Legion head Bulba

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

"Lukashenko has a deep-rooted Soviet mentality, although he sees that the Russian special operation is going wrong, he subconsciously believes that Russia cannot lose. And this stops him. Even at the CSTO meeting in Yerevan, when Pashinyan allowed himself a demarche, they say that Lukashenko jokingly told Putin, "Don't be afraid, Vladimir Vladimirovich, I will be the last to leave the CSTO, and maybe the first." This had an impact, Putin realized that the last vassal had doubts, so Shoigu was quickly sent to Minsk, and then Putin himself arrived, feeling the wobble," the head of the White Legion commented.

Serhiy Bulba reminded that Lukashenko also had 2 trips to the UAE, visiting Zimbabwe in between.

"Lukashenko took all 3 of his sons with him, so it seemed that he went to show his property to his sons and divide it among them. They say that Lukashenko is interested in gold and lithium mining in Zimbabwe, but these 2 businesses are controlled by the Chinese, and we have no information on how he will try to negotiate with them. In addition, Belarus has USD 6 billion worth of finished goods in its warehouses, so Lukashenko needs to sell it to someone. But Zimbabwe is looking at long-term investments, so it won't be possible to invest money to start working right away, so you can exchange one thing for another. After Zimbabwe, Lukashenko returned to the UAE, but an interesting thing happened there, most likely the Americans hinted to the Arabs that it was undesirable for Lukashenko to extend his family business there. It ended up with Lukashenko being escorted by the Minister of the Interior, hinting that you are the reason we have problems," said the Belarusian public figure.

Bulba noted that upon arriving in Minsk, Lukashenko started talking about the UAE investments, which means that he might now withdraw his money from there, and there are no other options for transferring his money except for Belarus.

"After Lukashenko returned to Minsk, they started talking about updating the algorithm that Nazarbayev had implemented for himself. In other words, Lukashenko is now in a position where he has seriously driven himself into a dead end and has virtually no room for maneuver," the head of the White Legion summarized.

• Lukashenko named condition for Belarus to join war against Ukraine.

• Lukashenko also invited Biden to Minsk to "end the war together with Putin."

• Sergey Bulba, a Belarusian public figure and head of the White Legion, said that during his visit to Moscow, Lukashenko was going to ask for USD 5 billion in exchange for something.
