Would Lukashenko allow Putin to attack NATO from Belarus?

from The Global Agora Hosted by Andrej Matisak

Imagine a situation where Vladimir Putin wanted to attack NATO from Belarus. Would Alexander Lukashenko be willing to cooperate? "I don't think that he has a lot of choices here," said Hanna Liubakova to me. She is a Belarusian journalist, political analyst, and nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. Hanna has been sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison by Lukashenko's regime. We discussed how strong or weak the reign of the Belarusian dictator is, what the opposition is like, what Lukashenko's authoritarian network looks like, and why she doesn't think that Lukashenko and Putin are friends. Listen to our conversation. And if you enjoy what I do, please support me on Ko-fi!
