Ukraine has hardened its stance towards Belarus' authoritarian leader, after years of trying not to irritate him too much, lest he drag his country into war. Now Kiev is tightening ties with the opposition led by Svetlana Tsikhanouskaya while warning Alexander Lukashenko that in the event of an escalation, Ukrainian drones are ready to strike.
In 2021, the Belarusian KGB forced a European plane to land in Minsk to arrest journalist Roman Protasevich. In 2026, Protasevich is one of the Lukashenko regime's propagandists.
Russian manipulation, security concerns, and pressure from some Lithuanian businesses may have all played a role in the relocation of Belarus’ opposition leader, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, to Belarus.
Hundreds of Belarusian companies support Russia's war effort, supplying it with, among other things, shells, drones, chassis for military vehicles, and components imported from the West.
A crisis in potatoes, which are a staple food in Belarus, is showing the failure of the economic model imposed by dictator Aleksandr Lukashenko.
Alexander Lukashenko’s looked frail and isolated at his 7th inauguration as Belarus president, consumed by old obsessions and leaning on his personal clan. The ceremony told more about the state of affairs in the regime than the dictator himself wanted it to.
Elections in Belarus were anything but free, with no opposition candidates or independent observers, and a government disinformation campaign designed to instill fear. The opposition managed, nonetheless, to get its message to at least part of the electorate, and in spite governmental efforts, turnout was lower than expected.
Faced with battlefield setbacks and repeated failures to protect critical infrastructure deep inside Russia, Kremlin generals have increasingly resorted to self-congratulatory and reassuring rhetoric.
During his speech at the International Security Forum, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) chief Sergey Naryshkin threatened the use of nuclear weapons, spoke about plans for a war against Europe, and voiced the Kremlin's fears.
Moscow views its so-called “compatriots abroad” both as a base for implementing destabilization plans in host countries and as a pretext for interfering in the internal politics of those states.
The apparent failure of U.S. plans in Iran is likely to be used by Moscow to undermine trust in Washington globally, as well as to target domestic audiences within the United States.
The Kremlin continues its policy of radicalising Africa and provoking conflict between the states of the continent and the “collective West.” The foundation for this effort is history — in particular the colonial past — as well as the narrative of “neocolonialism.”
It is clear how concerned the Kremlin is about the potential loss of its role as one of the world’s main suppliers of critical resources. Recently, Moscow has noticeably intensified information operations in this direction. First of all, these narratives aimed at European audiences promote the supposed necessity of maintaining energy dependence on Russia, claiming it is essential for EU economic growth and prosperity.
