AI Summary:
Belarus opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya urges them to “bring more strength together” the large-scale joint military exercises between Russia and Belarus taking place in the autumn may indeed pose a threat to NATO’s Eastern flank. In autumn 2021, Moscow and Minsk held military exercises in Belarus. Lithuania will be the first country on the way to the European Union, says Tsikhanouskaya. She hopes a similar strong signal will be sent to Aliaksandr Lukashenka of Belarus. Aliaksandr Lukashenka is also forcing the militarisation of Belarusian society. Tsikhanouskaya said that this way the regime was trying to show the population that there is an external enemy to unite against. But this won’t work on the people of Belarus, she said.
