⚡Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a key Russian ally, said Friday it appeared that the United States was trying to drive a wedge between Moscow and Beijing. “It seems to me they are trying to pit the Russians against the Chinese. The Russians must not allow that,” Lukashenko said, according to a statement posted by his office. He also said that any deal to end the Ukraine conflict could bring both positives and negatives to Belarus. Lukashenko allowed Russia’s army to use Belarusian territory to launch its military offensive on Ukraine in February 2022. 1 Like |

Today, I think we all see clearly how disadvantageous it could have been for Georgia to be on the same train as the current Ukrainian government.
