After a shout from Moscow.
Lukashenko was so eager to participate in the first meeting of Trump's Peace Council that he already had prepared theses of his speech to world leaders, analyst Sergei Chaly says in the latest edition of his author's program. The text is "Salidarnasts".
And since he couldn't get to Washington, the Secretary of State of the "Union State" Sergei Glazyev, before whom the ruler of Belarus justified himself for contacts with the Americans, had to listen to all this.
In Chaly's opinion, it was Donald Trump who addressed the thesis about the inactivity of the UN: "Because previously the official position of Belarus has always been to be proud of its role as a co-founder of this organization."
And now Lukashenko, according to his own assurances, is ready to cross himself if a more effective structure is found, since the UN "doesn't decide anything anymore."
Besides the opening eulogy, the failed guest from Minsk also had advice for the U.S. president, Chaly said. Starting with Greenland, where the United States "could have invested well," but "caused rejection," to, of course, Venezuela.
The expert recalled that the ruler talked a lot about the complicated logistics of the flight to the U.S., saying that it's all about that, and not about his fears: "Although his words about calmly arriving and calmly departing - it's again not about logistics, but about fears.
But the hottest moment in the clarifying conversation with Glazyev was the assurance that Putin had not forbidden Lukashenko to fly to Trump. According to Chaly, it turned out unconvincingly, although the Kremlin's Minsk ally tried to insinuate that he was trying not for himself, but for them.
The expert claims that Trump's special envoy for Belarus John Cole was supposed to fly to Minsk this week. But another exchange of political prisoners for a new batch of weight loss shots was allegedly disrupted after a "friendly" shout from Moscow.
