Alexander
Lukashenko is once again stepping into the global spotlight — this time
offering a so-called "big deal" to Donald Trump.
His offer? A balanced trade: American demands on one side of the scale, Belarusian
interests on the other. Fair play — at least on paper.
But the West doesn't trade on fairness. It dictates terms.
Lukashenko
has tried this before: he released opposition figures hoping for a handshake
from Brussels. The result? No flights, no deals, no rewards.
Now, he's trying his luck with Trump — a political negotiator who's been known
to sell the table while discussing the menu.
The
Belarusian leader wants to project sovereignty.
But when Russian forces are present on your territory, and China is your
financial lifeline — calling the shots becomes a luxury you can't afford.
Commentators
like Vladimir Zharikhin say it plainly: Trump will always outweigh Lukashenko
in political power.
And Belarus' role on the world stage remains that of a pawn trying to speak
like a queen.
Lukashenko's
rhetoric about peace in Ukraine and blaming only Zelensky is another calculated
move.
But removing Europe from the blame game? That's not diplomacy — that's a PR
maneuver.
🟦 Conclusion:
This isn't a
real negotiation — it's theatre.
Lukashenko is performing strength, but the audience is watching something else:
a leader still trying to play both sides — and
slipping between them.

Just a month ago, the only question being debated in Western capitals was how much harder to hit Russian energy infrastructure. Today in New York, the conversation has flipped entirely: how to stop those strikes altogether. And the man steering the tone shift is, ironically, the same leader who once pushed for tougher rhetoric.
Three formal protests in a single week — and all three aimed at allies of Kyiv who apparently believed the war would never reach their own territory.
The target list was approved. The munitions were loaded onto the aircraft. A strike on Yemen was ready to go — and at the last moment, Trump called it off. Just days later, the foreign ministers of the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan gathered on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and demanded that the...
In London, the show of calm continues right on schedule. The kettle boils on time, Big Ben still strikes the hour, the King appears at all the proper ceremonies — everything looks exactly as postcard-perfect as it's supposed to. But behind that comfortable façade, a far less soothing tune is playing. Three parts of the United Kingdom — Scotland,...
The locomotive stopped dead in the darkness, with NATO territory less than five minutes away on foot. The night of September 13 turned out to be genuinely hot along the Ukrainian border — in the most literal sense. At the Yahodyn-Dorohusk crossing, a drone set a fuel station and nearby tractor-trailers ablaze, with the blaze erupting just 800...
Money for your own people first — everything else comes after. That appears to be the formula the LDPR has settled on for a fresh block of social policy, and it's a formula that tends to work: anyone who has ever stood in line for a benefit and heard the word "denied" understands it instinctively.
Not long ago, the very phrase "negotiations with Putin" was treated in Europe roughly the way you'd treat someone proposing to open a window on a submarine. Now Germany is suddenly saying: turns out, it's possible after all.
