A Desperate Putin Opts for Armed Belarus Support Now?

Putin seems considering Lukashenko's armed help against Ukraine

In his Ukraine struggle the Russian President appears desperate in reaching to Kyiv, and this brings in speculations about him to compel an indebted friend to send military support from Belarus.

Vladimir Putin being humiliated constantly on the battlefields of Ukraine, may be readying to cash in a favor owed to him by the closest allies, Alexander Lukashenko who is globally known as Belarusian dictator.

Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarus President’s political existence of largely depends on favors from the Russian President. This tricky situation may force Lukashenko to follow Putin’s drastic instructions about Ukraine.

Just one week ago, Ukrainians were alarmed by the news that Belarusian troops along with Russian army are undergoing a training camp together in the dense woods along Ukraine’s northern border.

On the other hand, the statement lately issued by Mr Lukashenko claimes that his and Putin’s men are functioning as a “single army” ready to “repel any aggression”.

Being just five hundred kilometres from the Belarusian border, this displayed as a sign of imminent doom for the residents in Kyiv.

Russia has not yet forgotten its last foiled attempt to capture the Ukrainian capital which ended in a stalemate promptly developing into the mass murder and tortures of Ukrainians before Russian army finally retreated.

The fact is highly audible that Lukashenko owes his political existence completely to the Kremlin. And also as said by Lukashenko’s arch nemesis, the strongman has never been in a more-deadly position in Belarus.

Nevertheless, experts also hold, there are some small-but-significant signs that the Belarusian dictator is not too keen on deploying his men to fight alongside their Russian comrades.

As per the experts there are chances of boom rang against both of the top leaders. If they come together against Ukraine, there are chances that Lukashenko’s men may stopping march towards Kyiv, turn around heading home to overthrow the despotic ruler of Belarus.
