Kyiv • UNN
Political scientist Oleh Lisnyi stated that the Belarusian regime has been helping Russia since the beginning of the invasion, but is now trying to distance itself. He emphasized that Ukraine is significantly stronger than in 2022 and is ready for any development of events.
Self-proclaimed president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has long been involved in the war against Ukraine on Russia's side, but a new invasion from the north will not be an "easy walk" for the aggressor. This opinion was expressed by political scientist Oleh Lisnyi during a roundtable at Ukrinform, reports UNN.

The expert recalled that the Belarusian regime helped Russia at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, although it is now trying to distance itself from responsibility.
Putin has a long-standing idea to drag Lukashenko deeper into the war. Although in fact he is already a participant in this aggression. Lukashenko himself once called himself and Putin co-aggressors, and now he is trying to pretend that Belarus supposedly has nothing to do with it. But Ukrainians well remember that in February 2022, it was not tractors that came to us from the territory of Belarus, but Russian tanks
At the same time, he emphasized that the situation for the aggressor has changed significantly.
The main thing is that this is no longer 2022. There will be no "easy walk" that they could have dreamed of in the Kremlin. The President of Ukraine and our military speak about this directly. Yes, the threat from the north forces us to keep forces there, but today Ukraine is much stronger and better prepared for any development of events
