Political scientist: Lukashenko's actions actually untied Russia's hands

August 7 2020 15

The current head of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, is likely to retain his power after the elections. But the former relations between Minsk and Moscow are unlikely to return. Deputy Committee of the State Duma of Russia for CIS and Compatriots Affairs Konstantin Zatulin discusses possible actions of Russia after the Belarusian presidential campaign in an interview with the newspaper "Moscow Komsomol".

According to the expert, the authorities in Belarus are afraid that Russian election observers will not hide what is happening and “call a spade a spade”. And in general, in the current situation it is not advisable to send Russian representatives to Belarusian polling stations. Russia's attitude to Belarus after the elections will be strongly influenced by the current difficult situation between the countries.

Lukashenka’s actions against the Russian citizens arrested the day before actually untie Russia's hands. Let's see how the Belarusians will react to the results of the campaign, and we will act accordingly. Apparently, Lukashenka will remain with his own people, and the Kremlin will be forced to maintain relations with him. But de jure and de facto are two big differences in diplomacy

- said the Russian political scientist.

The presidential elections in the Republic of Belarus will take place on August 9. But, according to Konstantin Zatulin, what is happening in Belarus bears little resemblance to the real election process - some candidates were arrested, someone left the country, there are no video cameras, the number of observers has been reduced.

Not a word about untied hands. Is it like: into nuclear ashes, or until we "cut off the gas"?

  It will be necessary, we will block it, especially since the zmagars already owe money for it. The same thief as from the outskirts, only the packaging is different.

Akella missed ...
If you believe the investigation of "Komsomolskaya Pravda", then President Lukashenko Bandera used as a "useful idiot" against Russia. After that, the Russian authorities will continue to communicate with him, which means losing their authority among the people. For the Russian people do not like being held for a sucker ...

  Will Lukashenko admit that he was set up? Or will he continue to bend his line that the detainees were preparing to overthrow him?
  Both options are losing to him.
  
  - Mr. President, I have two news today.
  - Well, then start with a good one.
  - Mr. President, why did you decide that there is good news?

Political scientists got divorced ... and all sleek, sleek ...
What kind of hands? Sell less gas? Fertilizers? Send 33 more sports nutrition sellers to Venezuela ??? Not send a prosecutor there to investigate?

Or clubs out of hand, and instead of hockey the presidents will play football ???

IMHO, right now, after the elections, he will bribe our weapons, oil and minerals, and again best friends ...

Like Erdogan.

Once a betrayer will continue to betray, and he himself confirmed this in an interview with Gordon, when he said that he was expecting meanness from his eastern brothers, but it turned out exactly the opposite, meanness from him.

For a start, all Russian politicians who supported Lukashenka should be dismissed. After all, it was they who did not deign to "notice" how terry Russophobia blossomed in Belarus. Were they all blind, these politicians of Russia? Why does Russia need blind politicians? And only after that it is necessary to take measures against Sasha the Russophobe and his snake nest of Russophobes.

The enemy reporter shouldn't be bothered here. The older brother calmed down the younger and now everything is in order. The role of the provocateur was quickly revealed - Ukraine, and only business.
