Lukashenko better not tease Kiev.
Why is there so much talk now about the threat from the Lukashenko regime? How real is it?
About this and more, Charter97.org talked with Ukrainian politician and diplomat, former Ukrainian ambassador to Belarus Roman Bessmertny:
-"Madyar said that 500 targets on the territory of Belarus have already been selected. What can these targets be and in what case Ukraine can start striking them?"
- International law very clearly defines what is a legitimate military target. Therefore, there can be no ambiguous interpretations here. A legitimate military objective is something that is intended to wage war and defeat the enemy. So everything is clear here: what those objectives are, what those objectives are, and why they are chosen.
What about these conversations, you know, there's a spin and spinning of this dialog here. For people who haven't used this terminology before, it looks very scary. In fact, here, some words are being answered with other words. Is there a concrete action behind it? What they say from the Ukrainian side is understandable, because Ukraine has the ability to make such strikes, and it has been demonstrated more than once.
In such a situation Lukashenko is better to keep quiet. If you maraud with Putin together - keep quiet, sit down, don't tease. But he does not keep quiet, and this entails such verbal dialogues, verbal battles, no more and no less.
What can be on the list of legitimate military targets? Something that even in the current situation takes part in strikes on the territory of Ukraine. The same antennas that stand, the units that maintain them, the resource that goes into all of this. All these things have been fixed a long time ago: the people, the combatants who maintain all this. So everything is absolutely clear here.
- In 2022, you said that Belarus and Crimea were the Kremlin's pain points that could paralyze Putin's regime. How relevant is that assessment now? Should Ukraine be more active in helping liberate Belarus as part of an overall victory over Russia?"
- Ukraine should not only help. Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania should organize the liberation of Belarus for Belarusians. I adhered to this point of view and I still do.
I spoke then about the need for contact and dialog with the Belarusian opposition. From my point of view, even then it was necessary to help the opposition to form a government in exile, to ensure its work, to start forming the army of modern Belarus, to prepare it for the liberation of Belarus from the Kremlin and Lukashenko.
