Lukashenko shows how tough Putin's situation is
Let’s talk about the Belarusian 'fuhrer' and his threats. No, the Belarusian army is not capable of launching large-scale actions against Ukraine
Especially when it would potentially have to push through the forests and swamps that dominate almost the entire border with Ukraine.
"The only real threat from Belarus is the possibility of the Russian army advancing from there."
However, the Russian army can't launch an offensive from Belarus now due to a lack of forces, resources, and especially the same in Belarus itself.
In 2022, they advanced, partly through Belarus, because they had six additional directions to push from. Now, that’s not an option.
Everything Lukashenko is doing right now is a diversionary media circus, showing us just how much pain Putin is in. And it seems we still don’t fully grasp just how much.
We'll keep watching. We trust Ukraine’s plan. We don’t buy into the enemy’s provocations.
