‘Lukashenka Will Face Painful Response’

The regime is strengthening both reasons for sanctions.

A reader of the Charter97.org website believes that Lukashenka will face a response from the West for repressions against political prisoners and support for Russia’s war against Ukraine.

He also commented on the common projects of Minsk and the Arkhangelsk region of the Russian Federation, which became known after the meeting of the Russian governor with Lukashenka:

— It is not clear how “strong business guys” plan to make money from trading with a huge and sparsely populated region. The Arkhangelsk region is one of the main competitors of Belarus in the trade of wood processing and meat and dairy products in the European part of the Russian Federation. It will be profitable for the Arkhangelsk region to ship Belarusian goods through its ports, just as it will be profitable for the Russian railway to deliver goods to them. But such a logistics hook makes products from Belarus critically uncompetitive. And the main economic problem of the regime remains the inability to find a replacement for the most profitable Western markets, cut off by sanctions.

Lukashenka could have achieved sanctions relief by ending support for Russian aggression and political repression. But the Lukashists are strengthening both reasons for the sanctions. The impostor openly boasts of supporting the war, and with his approval the flywheel of domestic political terror is spun.

A new trial of Tsikhanouski, Statkevich, Losik and their associates will lead to tougher sanctions. The regime shows its fear and vindictive meanness towards the democratic forces. The Lukashists will receive a painful response from the Western community.
