‘Powerless’ Putin warned ‘his days are numbered’ after Lukashenko’s brutal swipe
The Belarus president appeared to suggest he would be prepared to use tactical nuclear weapons based in his country regardless of what Russia thought.
Vladimir Putin’s “days are numbers”, an expert said, after Belarus’s President Alexander Lukashenko has said in an extraordinary swipe at the Russian President over Yevgeny Prigozhin’s failed rebellion.
And Dr Yuri Felshtinsky, a US-based author and an expert in Russian affairs has said the Belarus President’s withering assessment was a stark indication of Putin’s increasing “powerlessness”.
Lukashenko has come to be seen as Putin’s loyal sidekick ever since the start of the war on Ukraine on February 22, most recently agreeing to allow Moscow to deploy tactical nuclear missiles in his country.
However, speaking in Minsk yesterday as he hosted a small delegation of journalists, he offered a candid assessment of the Wagner Chief’s mutiny, which saw him bring his mercenaries to within 130 miles of Moscow, saying the crisis proved Putin was “no hero”.
