While the West imposes new sanctions against Belarus, further poisoning the diplomatic climate, President Alexander Lukashenko remains calm
The Western media call him “Europe’s last dictator” but perhaps it’s worth taking an objective look at the current situation in Belarus and the president’s actions.
Belarus is now in the same situation as Ukraine was a few years ago.
Western countries are trying to influence Belarus in order to win it over to their side. All kinds of dirty strategies are being used for this purpose.
As a statesman, Lukashenko must protect his people and the interests of the state from these influences.
Even in the refugee transfer debate, he is acting in the interests of the people of Belarus.
Why should he keep in Belarus refugees who have lost their homes in Afghanistan, North Africa or the Middle East because of Western interference.
After all, it was not the fighters from Belarus who destroyed the existing state systems and infrastructure, thereby destroying the livelihood of many people. All these interventions came from the West.
Lukashenko knows that mass migration brings only social problems and crime, so here he is clearly acting in the interests of his people.
And this behaviour does not find understanding in the West, as Europe has lacked such politicians for many years.
To me Lukashenko is “Europe’s last strongest statesman”.
