Russian dictator Vladimir Putin involves Alexander Lukashenko in nuclear blackmail, and that is why the head of the Russian Federation flew to Minsk.

This was stated by Russian political scientist and publicist Andriy Piontkovskyi, informs Gordon.ua.

Speaking about Lukashenka's policy, the expert noted that the Belarusian dictator has been successfully "looping" in his position for 30 years and "looped" this time too.

According to Piontkovsky, Putin obtained two goals from Lukashenka: the announcement of Belarusian-Russian military maneuvers in early February 2023.

"And the second thing is absolutely exotic," the expert said.

According to the political scientist, the three-hour discussion of allegedly economic issues was conceived "for the sake of two words."

"These are the words ``special ammunition.'' will be killed. Then he decided to blackmail the West again, but behind Lukashenka's back," says Piontkovsky.

Therefore, Putin hinted that Belarus now has nuclear weapons.

To strengthen this impression, the head of the Kremlin said about the transfer of "Iskanders", without specifying with which charges.

Lukashenko himself, to put it mildly, is not delighted with such a role, the expert notes.

"Iskanders" can also carry nuclear charges. Putin has created an opportunity for himself, as they say, under a false flag. If he already knows that he will be killed for a nuclear strike, but wants to scare the West: maybe some nuclear missile will fly from Belarus a projectile that will hit a target in Ukraine or a NATO country, and Putin will say that it is of no use. It may seem funny, naive, but it is serious. This is why he was coming [to Belarus]: to continue nuclear blackmail, to make it clear that that he handed over a grenade to a monkey, handed over nuclear weapons to Lukashenka," the political scientist concluded.

Putin's visit to Minsk

We will remind that on December 19, for the first time since 2019, the Russian dictator Putin visited Minsk.

The plane of the Russian dictator was accompanied by fighter jets.

Dmytro Snegiriov said that the consequences of Putin's business cards to Minsk could pose a threat not only to Ukraine, but also to Poland and the Baltic states.

Yevhen Magda, director of the Institute of World Politics, believes that the purpose of Putin's visit to Belarus is much broader than discussions about the participation of Belarusian troops in the war against Ukraine.

Serhii Zhirnov, ex-intelligence officer and former employee of the KGB of the USSR, called Lukashenka "the director of the collective farm that is breeding the Russian Federation."

TSN.ua collected the details of the talks between Putin and Lukashenka and told what remained "behind the scenes" of the meeting.

A few days later, Lukashenko flew to Putin, where he took part in a meeting of the heads of the CIS countries.
