Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin held the official part of persuading Lukashenka in Sochi, while the unofficial part took place a day earlier. The main topics of persuasion were the recognition of the "referendums"…
1/12

that are taking place these days in the occupied territories of #Donetsk, #Luhansk, #Zaporizhzhia and #Kherson regions of #Ukraine, and the recognition of "new territories", after all the formal procedures, as part of #Russia.

On this issue, after the discussion, Lukashenka promised to think everything over at home, but it was clear that the decision would be negative. Lukashenka's main argument sounded like: “Volodya, you see how many problems we have because of the sanctions.

Do you want that after the recognition (of the occupied territories as a part of #Russia) sanctions strangle not only you, but also me? Russia is big, you will get out, but it is very hard for me.”

#Putin's promises to allocate a $5 billion loan to cover the costs of Belarus, but it did not help in persuading on this issue. Lukashenka said the loan was vital, but asked Putin not to push the confession.

As for the issue of mobilization in the Republic of Belarus, here Lukashenko generally categorically took a pose and did not even want to listen to the arguments of the #Russian president. True, Lukashenka agreed to help with weapons from the Belarusian military warehouses.

Belarus should receive a rather large urgent order for tailoring uniforms for the mobilized #RussianArmy. That's basically all the agreements. The truth was not without incident. During lunch, Lukashenka, in the presence of several people, asked…
7/12

the #Russian President an unexpected question: “Volodya, tell me, how long are you going to live?” Dumbfounded #Putin asked why this question, Lukashenka replied that rattling nuclear weapons is good when it is a bluff, and if not a bluff, then it is suicide.

To this, #Putin said that it was too early to talk about this and changed the subject. Unlike Putin, Lukashenka is clearly not going to die in the near future either from oncology or from a nuclear catastrophe, he has big plans for the future.

For several weeks now, Lukashenka has been negotiating through intermediaries with the leadership of the #USA, the #EuropeanUnion and several European countries separately. Moreover, serious progress has been made in these negotiations.

Lukashenka clearly does not intend to fight with the whole world for the sake of friendship with #Putin. Lukashenka, in a conversation with his inner circle, absolutely correctly formulated Putin's position with the old saying:
11/12

"our motto is - if you drown, drown others." And here #Putin was not lucky, Lukashenka is shit, but shit does not sink.
