March 14, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Belarusian ally Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka need war to support their regimes and justify reprisals against their political opponents, Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja commented on their yesterday’s meeting in Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIllegitimate \u0141uka\u0161enka runs to Putin, pledging loyalty, selling out Belarus, and whining about enemies. He\u2019s one of the biggest war profiteers \u2013 just like Putin. And neither of them wants this war to end,\u201d she said on X yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States President Donald Trump trapped Putin and \u0141uka\u0161enka who are now “scrambling for a way out,” her aide Franak Via\u010dorka said. “They are not ready for a peace deal and fear it could weaken them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Via\u010dorka also noted a shift in \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s attitude towards Trump and his fear of the latter\u2019s unpredictability. \u201cDictators prefer a world where everything is certain and controlled,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin and \u0141uka\u0161enka fear Europe\u2019s rearmament and try to undermine this effort. “They dream of returning to ‘business as usual,’ when Europe depended on Russian oil and gas. But that time is over,” Cichano\u016dskaja’s associate stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician described the Belarusian ruler\u2019s pledge of allegiance to Russia as “an outright lie,” based on the need of securing Moscow’s support to maintain his power in exchange for Belarus\u2019 sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A potential Russia\u2019s deal with the US will finish off Europe and Ukraine, \u0141uka\u0161enka told journalists after meeting Putin yesterday in Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the Belarusian ruler is expected to address the Federation Council, Russia’s upper house.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
