Vladimir Putin and the secret services are suspected of killing Lukashenko, the Russian leader's plan to take over Belarus is revealed

The axis between Moscow and Minsk a few months ago seemed very solid, with analysts giving as concrete the hypothesis that Belarus could enter the war alongside Russia in Ukraine. A circumstance that did not happen, but now the scenarios have changed so much that the Kremlin now wants to pull the allied country into the conflict at all costs. But how? Russian leader Vladimir Putin is suspected of planning an "attack" on President Alexander Lukashenko, writes the American research center Robert Lansing Institute, citing sources from Russian military leaders. According to the reconstruction, on his return from the summit of the CSTO military alliance in Yerevan, Armenia, Putin ordered his military intelligence to prepare an attack against Lukashenko. Two scenarios are being studied by Gru, the military secret service. A fake attempt to kill Lukashenko, in order to intimidate him and force him to go to war against Ukraine together with Moscow, or kill him. In the latter case, the general secretary of the CSTO, Stanislav Zas, described as loyal to the Kremlin and under the control of the GRU, would take over the leadership of the country. In both scenarios, 'evidence' of the involvement of the United States, Poland and Ukraine in the attack would be shown, to bring Minsk into the war alongside Moscow. However, Moscow's objective would be a merger of the two armies under the command of the Kremlin. Even if Lukashenko were to remain alive, he would effectively be deposed and the country would move towards a union with Russia. the general secretary of the CSTO, Stanislav Zas, described as loyal to the Kremlin and under the control of the GRU, would take over the leadership of the country.

The death of the Belarusian Foreign Minister

The Foreign Minister of Belarus died yesterday suddenly a few hours after a meeting with his counterpart in Moscow, Lavrov. The government is not giving any details about his disappearance, while there are rumors of his possible poisoning as a "warning" from Putin to convince Lukashenko to fight alongside the Russians in Ukraine. The death of Vladimir Makei, who disappeared in Yerevan, Armenia, while the conference of the Collective Security Treaty Organization was taking place opens the ground for hypotheses. Including that of the political change in Minsk that the Kremlin is allegedly pressuring to persuade Belarus to penetrate into Ukraine. Moscow said it was "shocked" by Makei's death. "Vladimir Vladimirovich Makei was a true friend of Russia," the Russian Foreign Ministry said. " He made a unique contribution to the development of bilateral cooperation, building the Union state, strengthening ties between the fraternal peoples of Russia and Belarus." The Kremlin note calls the politician "an outstanding diplomat and statesman, a true patriot who devoted his life to serving his homeland and protecting his interests in the international arena." "Vladimir Vladimirovich Makeiai will forever remain in our hearts as a man with a broad mind and deep wisdom, an excellent professional, a teammate and a loyal friend, who has won the love and respect not only of the citizens of the country his, but also beyond Belarus", concludes the message.

Involvement of Belarus in the war

Although tied to Moscow by close political, economic and military agreements, Minsk has so far refrained from directly participating in the Ukrainian conflict. However, since the end of October, the troops of both countries have begun a joint deployment on Belarusian territory, which foresees the deployment of about 9,000 Russian soldiers, weapons and Mig-31 aircraft to form the first core of an integrated force provided by the bilateral agreements on the state of the Union. Therefore, Belarus tries to maintain a difficult balance to protect its national interests as well.
