What experts think about the future of the Belarusian dictator.
Ukrainian politician and blogger Boryslav Bereza gave an interview to Charter97.org and expressed the opinion that Lukashenka could suddenly commit suicide. Moreover, the Kremlin is likely to plan his ‘suicide’.
How can Lukashenka finish? The Charter97.org website looked at the opinions of experts.
Ukrainian military analyst, Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Roman Svitan believes that the Belarusians will dispose of Lukashenka for allowing the deployment of nuclear weapons in the country:
“I think that the Belarusians will cut him into shreds for such deeds. True, he may have time to escape to China. Get plastic surgery, shave off your mustache, make an inward slant of the eyes and start speaking Chinese because there are free places in Rostov already.”
Former Prime Minister of Lithuania, MEP Andrius Kubilius believes that Lukashenka will stand trial:
“Lukashenka is going to the tribunal. When you are looking into the United Nations documents’ description of what is a crime of war of aggression, one of the paragraphs speaks exactly about the cases like Lukashenka: those countries and those leaders who are allowing to use their territory for the aggression against another country — they are guilty in participating in this crime of aggression.”
Russian sociologist Igor Eidman believes that Belarusians themselves will judge Lukashenka:
“I think that the court will take place in Belarus. Of course, he is also a criminal because of the complicity of the Russian aggression, but here he plays second fiddle, but of the person who plays on the corner of the orchestra. I mean that he will hit the corner with a hammer once in the whole symphony, that's his job. Lukashenka does not play an independent role, therefore the Belarusians can judge him. Putin and his entire gang are international criminals, and I hope that they will be tried (now everything is moving towards this) in the international court in The Hague.”
Russian publicist Andrei Piontkovsky expressed the opinion that Putin will get rid of Lukashenka after his military defeat:
“It seems to me that when everything will start crumbling and Putin will fall into despair then he may kill Lukashenka: 'Ah, go to hell. How much blood did you suck from me?!'
'That's it, I'm already in the dock, The Hague, Mariupol - it doesn't matter. I will finish you here,' Putin will say, taking him by the throat."
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Volodymyr Ohryzko believes that a hunt will begin for Lukashenka:
“The consequences will begin when the case moves from theory to practice in a special tribunal. Then Putin and Lukashenka will understand that they will be hunted, they will be caught. It hasn't come to that so far.
If this process goes further, Putin and Lukashenka will have no choice but to either run away somewhere far away and disappear, or pass a pistol with one cartridge to each other (although I don’t believe in the last option possible).”
