in the month of april, certain political processes in germany interfered with this, and in the essence of the matter we still see echoes of this kind of struggle between the necessity and some political cautions, but recently we see signals that, after all , the leadership of germany understands more and more the need for comprehensive assistance, including the provision of heavy weapons, and at the moment we have just heard about the transfer of leopard 2 tanks. and as for the marder bmp - of course heavy the technique is effective, but it is an order of magnitude lower . let's say so in terms of efficiency than, and therefore, in principle, i do not rule out that this technique can also appear in ukraine, it is a matter of our greater

will give a complete victory , informational and analytical day of the espresso tv channel. to the more informed experts, an important message has been received regarding the kyiv region, due to the russian attack , three districts were partially cut off today, the kyiv region repelled the third attack by the russians in the last month, as a result of night shelling , three people were injured, nine private houses were damaged. this is reported by the head of the kyiv military administration kuleba obukhivskyi vyshhorodskyi and buchanskyi district and partially de-energized, only critical infrastructure has recovered energy workers are working on restoration, but the situation is difficult since last night, all services are eliminating the consequences of attacks in the region, emergency shutdowns are currently in place, i emphasize that the graffiti of stabilization shutdowns do not work, that today

the president of russia, vladimir putin , is visiting belarus for the first time in three years, at the head of a large government delegation, the official purpose of the visit is called the discussion of the process our journalists putin and lukashenko analyzed the implementation of the union programs of cooperation in the energy sector and security issues, what to really expect from this visit, the last two europe's dictators, the first one in power for 22 years, the second - 28 all the while they are building a union state of russia and belarus. however, until 2020, lukashenko rather imitated the process and tried to preserve the remnants of his country's independence. belarus is a sovereign independent state, everything changed after the falsified presidential elections in 2020

and mass protests, the belarusian dictator lost the opportunity to balance between the west and russia and fell into complete political and financial dependence on moscow, perhaps this became one of the key factors why lukashenko allowed his country to be used as a springboard for aggression against ukraine. on february 18, during the first meeting with putin in 2022, he already knew about the attack, but according to the old tradition, he played a fool and lied to us, teaching as transparently as possible on his territory, we cover up everything that happens under under the watchful eye of the entire army, and even the press, after the start of a full-scale war, the two dictators have already held five meetings, not including short conversations on the sidelines of summits of the organization of the treaty on collective security and the shanghai cooperation organization, the main topic was the war against ukraine. lukashenko, who for decades told that ukraine would be invaded from the territory of belarus except by tractors

, now justified russian aggression in every possible way . and now i will show you where the attack on belarus was being prepared. a pre-emptive strike was carried out on the position of four positions, now i will show you a map, and it seems that our troops of belarus, russia, which were trained on the territory of belarus, were attacked and are now actively trained mobilized from russia, minsk transfers heavy equipment and other weapons to moscow. however , formally, the belarusian troops do not take direct part in the aggression, although lukashenko sends various signals to kyiv about his intentions , he is not going to fight, it reminds me that he and putin actually have one army for two. it seems to me that in general it is first of all dangerous for the friendly belarusian people towards our neighbors belarus what he is doing he should, it seems to me, not involve belarus in russia's war against russia he is in

russia against ukraine on december 19 russian the dictator is visiting minsk for the first time in three years, many assume that his goal is pressed lukashenka, if the belarusian troops do enter the war against ukraine, some analysts express a different opinion, putin wants to keep belarus in the zone of stability, so that it does not turn into a second front, so he will only demand from minsk in the future training of mobilized logistical support of the russian troops and simulations of a military threat to distract the armed forces of ukraine i would like to thank our colleagues for this extremely meaningful and correct plot yes we are adding to our marathon valery korbalevich, a belarusian political scientist. glory to ukraine long live belarus glory to the heroes we already have the first statements from putin and lukashenka of the meetings, we should be satisfied with how

our relations are developing belarus is our ally in the literal sense of the word the russian federation is ready and will continue develop nuclear projects in belarus, science and train personnel in the russian federation, belarus has plans for cooperation in space, what did lukashenko say, strengthening belarusian-russian relations relations became a natural response to the dynamically changing situation in the world, our priority is the solution of sensitive economic issues, and the main issues recently have been defense and security issues, so valery, i have a question for you: don't you think that lukashenko is still trying to but to falter from putin's pressure to get directly involved in the war with ukraine without any mediators, yes, absolutely lukashenko does not want that

part of the belarusian armed forces in this war and does not want to sleep for two reasons, the first the reason is that the belarusian society has a negative attitude towards this war. that is, the participation of belarusian military personnel in this war is not actually supported by the majority of the belarusian society. and this war is very popular in belarusian society, eh, and this is a foreign war for belarusians, this is the fundamental difference between belarusian society and russian lukashenko - he understands that. уклоняются второй момент the second reason is that uh, let's say uh, it's good to participate in a victorious war, you can get some divisions, and the war for russia is developing in ukraine more and more unsuccessfully. and that's why he supports the

loser, puts the loser on the loser and participates in the war. stupidity , that's why lukashenko often bows, eh, he demonstrates the miracles of cross-dressing. well, and so on, that's why lukashenko always bows down. i think he will continue to do this. but will putin give him such an opportunity? that perhaps now the preparatory moment will continue, of course no one will make anything public, neither putin nor lukashenko

, in particular, it is about their barbaric plans, in particular, about the creation of a northern bridgehead , but in any case, we understand by low indicators, so that they are trying to create a military group, now belarus is being saturated with equipment, and maybe soon they will send a couple of tens of thousands of russian interventionists there, the war has been going on for several months, and while lukashenko is succeeding, they are avoiding the direct participation of the belarusian armed forces in this war. i think that we have in the future, the more so because it is not completely clear how important the participation of belarusian military personnel in this war is, in principle, really important for putin, he must understand that this participation can cause, let's say, a negative reaction of the belarusian society. that

's how you get a serious political crisis from the main ally at the time of the war. well, for putin, this is also not the best option. that's why i would be quite cautious about the prospects of participation. belarusian soldiers we are in this war, if possible, let's talk a little about the trust between the two authoritarian leaders, it is clear that lukashenko may not trust putin and would probably be completely i would be stupid if i trusted him in connection with the story with the make-up at least yes, but does lukashenko trust putin, why am i asking? today, we all celebrated how exactly the russian president flew to belarus, it seemed. well, it is also the territory of his country, so the airspace of russia and then you fly directly into it into the airspace of belarus, it is not close to the borders of

other countries, but for some reason putin decided to disguise himself a bit and took off as many as three planes with different directions of movement, and only one of them, of course, was the russian president was the russian president on the plane and he himself was in zhiguli, you know, in a handkerchief, he was moving inland, so to the border , so to putin, to lukashenka, why do you think the russian president appeared? why did he choose such a reminder for himself, as they say? which fly very far and that's why, uh, it's not safe, uh, i'm conifers, and there's such a danger, and it's possible to understand why he does this.

there are a lot of important things than personal relationships that don't work out for a long time. i haven't done them for a long time. they're conflicts, something in a child. yes, only putin came to power, but there is a decline. it 's interesting. it was precisely the support from moscow and from putin that ensured lukashenko's preservation of power to a significant extent, and in return , lukashenko was grateful for this. i fell into addiction, i fell into a trap, and it is not possible for a colleague of mine to jump out, but for putin, it is also important, uh, for the only ally

who, well, it is necessary to somehow value this visit, as if we were a definite demonstration of what uh, here is gratitude, what is this? to an ally that's why mutual interest plays the main role here, and the question of trust well, maybe it's important, but not the most important thing. dear mr. korbalevich, i would like to ask you. the former deputy for the post, so on the other hand, we understand that the secretary of the belarusian council of security, volfovich , can gather more and more powers. they loyalty is ready in belarus and the right-wing elite

is not a subject of the police in belarus , all important decisions are taken by a single person and everyone knows his last name . which took place after the trials in two years, lukashenko changed almost all the leaders of the security forces, replaced them with more loyal ones, and no one objected. that is why they expect that the belarusian nomenclature will lead some independent game of its own. i think that this is not worth counting on . in any case, now there is no political outcry if a political crisis occurs. сейчас угу no, it's just about the fact that

if putin were to prepare, so to speak, some kind of terminal scenario, in particular , it's about the possible physical removal of lukashenka from office if this model of lukashenka, which he tried to build, was functioning , and we understand that the mysterious death of makey is actually was not so mysterious. that is, this is an extremely powerful signal. and accordingly, in what way can lukashenko insure himself against direct physical elimination? so on. well, in general, there is a so-called medical diagnosis of a heart attack. what is the matter? the fact is that the belarusian political regime is based on the personality of lukashenko. lukashenko himself is the backbone of this regime

. the power and the disappearance of this main figure of the main dictator most often causes political problems, that is, he eliminated lukashenko, and russia is creating a political situation in belarus with its own hands, which it cannot fully manage the background of which she will not be able to control, because then other political forces will enter the game, the position of the belarusian society is possible and the west is a very risky game, so i do not think that moscow seriously expects that brother lukashenko will have problems and challenges where is moscow in that case there will be much more than lukashenko at the head of belarus, i would like to talk about who came to replace mr. makeya, this is serhii alinik, he

worked in the ministry of foreign affairs of the republic of belarus, he was to the ambassador of great britain, the post-presidency of belarus at the un, and here antin asked the question, how will the model function in the event that there is no lukashenko, so that he will be removed by any method, some in our country assumed that for such a case, he just held on i mean, he was a sort of mediator between the authoritarian lukashenko regime and the west, after all. that is, he could not be called a super-democratic politician there, and so on, but it was a kind of thin thread, the last straw, by which belarus could hold on, after all, from the west and their positions, and oleynyk, who is he? well, this is some kind of illusion that matei could be lukashenko 's successor in case of his er-e calculation because
