All former Soviet republics can clearly see just what they will get in return for siding with Russia: absolutely nothing.
Ukraine and Georgia may have price increases, but the alternative is price increases, loss of sovereignty and independence, and Russian subjugation. Pity poor Belarus.
I don't pity Belarus one bit. They will tire very quickly of Lukas when he cannot afford to give them their good salaries. I think this is the best way to get rid of the dictator.
