Need we recall that as a result of the amending of the Constitution, it is the assembly that has the right to impeach \u0141uka\u0161enka, so he may not make it to the next presidential election. In the emerging configuration, the chairmanship of the assembly essentially becomes nominal, contrary to \u0141uka\u0161enka&#8217;s hopes,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia has prepared a &#8220;Nazarbayev scenario&#8221; for \u0141uka\u0161enka, who knows it&nbsp;and even helps implement the plan, the politician said. Nursultan Nazarbayev continued to serve as chairman of the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan after his resignation as president in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u0141atu\u0161ka said that \u0141uka\u0161enka has destroyed all forms of Belarusian civil society, Belarusian independent media and political parties, rewritten&nbsp;the Constitution and signed integration programs and a common military doctrine with Russia. &#8220;It was he who dragged Belarus into the war against Ukraine, placed Russian nuclear weapons in our country, put it on a war footing and almost completely merged the Belarusian economy with the Russian economy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was \u0141uka\u0161enka who opened the gates of Belarus wide open to the Russian world, hoping to get credit for all these services. All these actions, which can only be called treason and a national betrayal, did allow \u0141uka\u0161enka to stay in power with the help of Russia. Power is all this figure is interested in, and that is what has played a cruel joke on him. \u0141uka\u0161enka&#8217;s thirst for power and willingness to do anything for it make him unreliable from the Kremlin&#8217;s perspective, as it cannot take any risks. Not now, when the front is crumbling and the Collective Security Treaty Organization allies are already sitting at the table with US President [Joe] Biden, and are even holding joint exercises with the United States, like Armenia,&#8221; the UTC member said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u0141atu\u0161ka said that removing \u0141uka\u0161enka and replacing him with a new &#8220;puppet&#8221; were two different tasks. Russia, he said, was capable of fulfilling the first task, but the Belarusian democratic forces, the people and the international community &#8220;should not allow them to put a Moscow prot\u00e9g\u00e9 on the throne.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither \u0141uka\u0161enka nor his Kremlin replacement will enjoy&nbsp;support, recognition or legitimacy, \u0141atu\u0161ka said. &#8220;Belarus is not and will never be Russia. The future of Belarus is in Europe. And Russia&#8217;s imperial projects, such as the CSTO, are already beginning to collapse before our eyes,&#8221; the politician concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 23,\u00a0Pozirk.\u00a0The Kremlin has already activated and is implementing its plan to replace Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka with another leader, Pavie\u0142 \u0141atu\u0161ka, a member of the opposition United Transitional Cabinet (UTC) and head of the National Anti-Crisis Management (NAM), said yesterday on YouTube.
