More afraid of Ukraine than Russia.
Wouldn’t you be if you had front row seats on the sidelines for the past 3 years?
Especially after the last few weeks where they went “Ukraine Smash!!” then looked at Luka and said he wouldn’t like it if they got angry.
Minsk is within the envelop of Ukraines larger middle strike drones. The ones that are cratering bridges right now. The BIG BOOM drones. Russia is a bit limited on AA defense. So no help can be expected there.
Ukraine also has ample reason to want to fuck Lukashenko over for his role in Russia invading Ukraine.
Sure but how is luka going to drink tea with putin now?
This is the power of demonstrating your military strength rather than being obsessed with undue secrecy about it, you can affect the flow of events without actually using your military strength.
Ukraine should be proud in this moment, this is one of the most indisputable indicators of Ukraine’s strength yet produced in this war, it is what historians will use to explain how the Ukraine war evolved into russia collapsing in power to the point that they could not goad their vassal state into war because they were too afraid to fight.
And all he had to do all that time was to ask nicely. Who would have thought!
But did he say thank you?
Don’t need to when you hold all the damn cards.
Wonderful news!
lukashenkos plan so far seems to be to resist russian pressure as long as possible for direct hostile action
