“Talks”?
Who needs “talks” with their puppet?
Putin feels lonely.
I think the “talks” will be more along the lines of, “Listen, a$$**le, when I say jump, this time you’ll jump. No backtalk, no waffling, nothing, or you’ll have a heart attack. Got it?”
Russia can’t go it alone against Ukraine. But Lukashenko believes, rightly, that if he tries to send his tiny army to war it will be his last act as president. He’s caught between people who will kill him if he does and people who will kill him if he doesn’t. Tough place to be. And, there’s NOTHING in it for him.

Russia’s NATO encroachment buffer zone. I don’t blame them.
