Why did Putin fly to Lukashenko, and will Belarus really go to war?

Vladimir Putin’s official visit to Belarus is rather an exception. Usually everything happens the other way around - Lukashenko flies to Moscow.

This time, Putin not only flew in himself, but also took with him a whole retinue of high-ranking officials. Including Defense Minister Belousov and Foreign Minister Lavrov.

Our sources claim that regular meetings between Putin and Lukashenko help keep relations between the two countries in good shape. The current large-scale visit is not just taking place against the backdrop of talk about a possible escalation of the conflict with NATO countries.

Putin came to Lukashenko immediately after his visit to China. It is worth recalling here that the Kremlin is quite jealous of Lukashenko’s close contacts with the Chinese authorities.

Is Belarus preparing to go to war against Ukraine? Now there is no such prospect. In any case, Belarus is not mobilizing, and the officer corps is morally more likely not ready to conduct combat operations than ready. The creation of strike groups is also not happening.

Moreover, there is practically no threat directly to Lukashenko from the Ukrainian Armed Forces or the West. Is Kyiv preparing to attack Belarus? Also no.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have enough forces and means to contain our army in a number of directions, so the whole story of the visit probably has a different purpose.

The interlocutors hinted that it is important for the Russian Armed Forces to stretch the Ukrainian troops, so now the so-called “second front” will be actively created.

Moreover, Belarus may host exercises using non-strategic nuclear weapons. However, here, according to our data, Lukashenko received several signals from the West at once, and therefore cannot yet decide to take such a step.

Why did Putin need several ministers in Minsk at once? It just so happens that Vladimir Vladimirovich doesn’t have many official visits now. And each of them should create a beautiful picture.

Moreover, against the backdrop of Western media publications about our supposed readiness for peace, discussions among hawks continue to discuss the liberation of the Suwalki corridor and the creation of a land route to Kaliningrad.
