Here Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky warned the Belarusian President Lukashenko - purely brotherly.
They say that if President Lukashenko does not agree to a dialogue with his people, then hundreds of thousands of refugees from Belarus will rush to European countries.
Mentally, he very much substantiated this all - I just want to sit down like a woman, propping up my cheek, and wiping a miserly tear with a handkerchief.
A severe threat: hundreds of thousands of refugees from Belarus!
In which, let me remind you, 9 million people live - less than in Moscow.
And after all, the main thing, I have been looking for a long time: whoever does not like it in Belarus - he immediately flees to European countries.
Well, that's right: geographically, Russia occupies a fairly large chunk of Europe.
But the main thing is not even these apocalyptic omens, but the fact that the head of the Ukrainian state utters this.
In 2014-2015 alone, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Ukraine applied for temporary asylum in Russia, for example.
These are not migrant workers, let us note, not guys who decided to look for where the dumplings are sweeter, but naturally refugees who, for some reason (I can't even guess why!) Left the country in which they lived and fled abroad.
Why did this happen?
A very difficult question.
Probably because the political reforms announced by Kiev did not meet with understanding in other regions of the country?
Probably because Kiev, instead of somehow reaching an agreement with dissenting people and going into dialogue with them, decided to simply crush the protest with weapons and a regular army, which spilled over into a military conflict that has been going on for six years?
Actually, how did Zelensky come to power - a man who did not have exactly any political capital, except for a talented role in the series?
The people of Ukraine are terribly tired of the fact that those in power are sharing this power among themselves, having forgotten, in fact, about the people, and voted for a person who, at least, was not involved in the ongoing processes.
This is how Zelensky came to power.
They even voted for him in the unfortunate Donbass - they specially traveled to the territory controlled by the Ukrainian army.
People, in general, just hoped that they would finally be heard.
Well, in vain, in general, they hoped.
Zelenskiy continued the traditional Ukrainian policy of flirting with nationalists, handing out smiles to Europe and doing pretty much nothing.
Now he literally from the bottom of his heart offers Belarus to arrange about the same feast of the spirit, now - with an eye on the successful Ukrainian experience!
So, they say, seven years ago in Ukraine the authorities did not come to an agreement with the people - and suffered a collapse.
“We buried the Ukrainians who were killed on the Maidan.
We saw how people and buildings burned ... "
Well yes.
And then the authorities did not come to an agreement with the people at all - until death, before the civil war they did not agree, but they are shyly silent about this.
In general, the Ukrainians are somehow proudly talking about the corpses of the Maidan, they say as if these corpses somehow justify what then happened in Donbass.
But corpses never justify anything.
Death is a tragedy, but not an excuse.
A hundred deaths on the Maidan does not justify the thousands killed in the Donbass.
At all.
No way.
It’s even strange that in the 21st century we have to say such simple truths out loud.
And these corpses of the Maidan are now on the flags of political Ukrainians.
Yes, bury them already where they should be - in the graves.
Pay, light candles, order a memorial prayer - let people sleep peacefully.
You have more pressing problems in the country right now, hello!
The Belarusians are very lucky that they do not yet have dead people who could be used for their own purposes, let's say, by forces interested in a coup d'état, as happened in Ukraine.
If sacred sacrifices appear, the likelihood of a rapid destabilization of the situation in the country will grow exponentially.
Well, in the event of a coup, there will definitely be a rather large number of people who will not like the changes.
And in this case, will they seek a compromise with them?
So far, the Ukrainian scenario is not being implemented in Belarus.
Precisely due to the absence of sacred victims.
I really want to believe that there will be no victims.
Death is always very bad.
Death, used for political purposes by forces acting to the detriment of the country, is monstrous.
Yes, Vladimir Alexandrovich, the lessons of Ukraine have been learned.
Yes, thanks for the clear and concise analogies.
Really visual.
Although, perhaps, Zelensky is simply taken hostage and is trying to quietly send a signal with such messages that he is in trouble.
Well, because the Belarusians can hardly be motivated to a coup d'etat by analogies with the Ukrainian scenario.
Nobody wants "like in Ukraine", even Ukrainians are now writing to Belarusians: "Guys, do you really want it to be like ours?"
The main thing for Belarus now is to prevent deaths.
And there, you see, it will manage without a coup, and no one will have to flee the country.
Because any scenario is better than the Ukrainian scenario.
