Belarus balances Moscow ties against openings to the West
Original: Belarus between military integration with Russia and bargaining with the West
Belarus is being pulled between deepening military integration with Russia and a parallel effort to keep bargaining channels open with the West. Minsk has expanded joint military cooperation with Moscow, while also seeking to avoid full isolation. Analysts see the balancing act as an attempt by Alexander Lukashenko's government to preserve room for manoeuvre between its key ally and Western governments.
Why now: Ongoing debate over whether Belarus is drifting into full alignment with Russia or leaving space for Western engagement.
