Everyone can see: Vladimir Putin does not love the Belarusian Old Man Alexander Lukashenko too much. The Lukashenkovsky pan -science, his wet Secretary General kisses, as well as the constant desire of the President of Belarus to pay for cheap Russian gas with conversations about the upcoming integration. Putin repeatedly demonstrated Lukashenko his hostility, we recall at least the famous “Flies separately, cutlets separately” - it was clear to everyone whom the Russian president classifies to annoying flies.
Nevertheless, today, in his Sochi residence, Vladimir Vladimirovich will be given to Alexander Grigoryevich, with his kisses and shallow ranting about the upcoming Russian-Belarusian association. “I am ready to talk on any topic that you consider the necessary,” Putin Lukashenko said at the beginning of the meeting. It is possible that the conversation will even end with some modest economic gift for Belarusian poverty-a discount on oil and gas, customs bones, or even a loan that will never be returned.
There is nowhere to go to Putin. “Near Abroad” bursts at the seams. Today, at the Kyrgyz embassy in Moscow, Askar Akayev ahead of schedule has resigned presidential powers. Today, the Georgian president proudly informed reporters that he ignored Putin's invitation to arrive in Sochi (it was assumed that Saakashvili's meeting with the president of Abkhazia would be organized there). And today in Washington, at a meeting with George Bush, the Ukrainian president will loudly declare his intention to focus on the West. At the same time, the question will be raised about the abolition of the notorious amendment of Jackson -Vennik and the American support of Ukraine’s entry into the WTO - that is, all that Russia has for several years to avoid from the United States. In the events of the day, as in a drop of water, the situation in the open spaces of the CIS - the leaders of some states with all their might demonstrate their “Western” choice, others calculate how soon they will have a revolution and what color it will be. A little more and those on whom Moscow has been betting for so long for so long to reach for Russia, but not to meet with Putin, but in order to look after the mansion.
In this situation, the restless Alexander Grigoryevich is by no means intending to submit to fate. He, perhaps, has the only one of all Signen leaders, has a special forces that has long been completed on demonstrators. These, who almost every month work out their skills at Belarusian students, will shoot if necessary. It is very significant that the Belarusian president went to Moscow directly from military exercises, which he himself organized. According to the Belarusian press, Lukashenko gave a sudden order to re-consult the 28th storage base in Baranavichy and its deployment, after staffing with reservists, in a motorized rifle brigade. They say that yesterday this team moved to the training ground. Lukashenko personally checked his readiness for deployment. “We’ll not need a show of wings,” he threw to reporters. And he left no doubt that for the sake he train reservists: “There will be no revolutions in Belarus. We are able to keep the situation in our country and in a powerful way. ” Immediately Lukashenko said that “the philosophy of relations with the Russian Federation does not need to be changed ... But we need an additional signal, impulse to our relationship,” the Old Man hinted. And such a signal, in his opinion, should serve as today's meeting.
Such a willingness to fight for the presidency, to confront what Vladimir Putin stubbornly calls “unlawful methods of power struggle”, is worth a lot in the eyes of the Russian president. After all, just in Belarus, the Putin idea of the “power vertical” was brought to the ideal. And where, if not there, she should prove her viability. Therefore, Lukashenko will receive an “impulse” today, which is so harassed. And Putin is Lukashenkovsky kisses that are so unpleasant for him.
