Podolyak stressed that Lukashenko's direct participation in the war "will sign a suicidal sentence for himself."

Advisor to the Head of the Presidential Office, Mikhaylo Podolyak, believes that during the visit to Belarus, Russian President Vladimir Putin will push his "partner" Lukashenka to attack.

As Podolyak said on the air of the national telethon today, the status of Putin is not the status of Putin, as he was "yesterday", "This is a man who must go and beg."

Putin is not in the position to dictate terms to anyone. Yes, he still hopes to end the war on his own terms … A person who is weak in terms of intellectual ability, completely out of touch with reality.

He added that Putin wants Belarus to "perish as a state from a political point of view."

Commenting on the upcoming meeting between Putin and Lukashenko in Minsk, Podolyak noted:

The agenda (meetings) is absolutely banal: maximum support by Belarus for the offensive in any form. It can be information campaigns, training events, or even a land invasion.

Podolyak stressed that Lukashenko's direct participation in the war "will sign a suicidal sentence for himself."

The official purpose of Putin's trip to Minsk on December 19 is "discuss the process of implementing previously adopted union programs." However, Putin will hold a separate meeting with Lukashenko face-to-face.
