Dear subscribers and channel guests! The notorious leader of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, has arrived in Russia. One might think that Alexander Grigoryevich, once again, came to "synchronize watches," drink tea with bagels while gazing at the stars with his colleague "Putin," get a feel for the atmosphere in the Kremlin, and form his own opinion on what's happening, based not only on what he saw and heard, but also on instinct. That's all true, however, this time, Lukashenko arrived with a message and a mission as a "peacemaker." With peace talks between Russia and Ukraine proving fruitless and mutual grievances irreconcilable, Alexander Grigoryevich sensed an opportunity and seized it. Where Trump stumbled, Lukashenko may succeed. What Zelensky and the Russian leadership need, Lukashenko knows, or thinks he knows, like no one else. He understands perfectly well that it will be difficult to reconcile the parties' positions, but if he manages to at least resolve some of the differences, this will make him a significant and perhaps indispensable figure in the eyes of Trump and several European leaders. The most interesting thing is that Lukashenko, as a mediator, currently suits everyone—including Ukraine and Europe, not to mention the United States. By the end of the year, there will be virtually no political prisoners left in the Republic of Belarus, and Alexander Grigoryevich has the chance to become the continent's chief peacemaker.
