I am Belarusian.
Of course, Lukashenka called me and asked, brother, we will allow the entry of Russian troops through our territory (sarcasm)
Yes, and I think he himself was put before the fact.
Before this war, many services equated Belarus with North Korea, Iraq, Libya... The same Binance did not allow us to trade.
Now it has gotten much worse. True, Ukrainian exchange services still completely change everything that is possible for the Russian ruble (it’s understandable, because the exchange rate has flown that it’s just madness not to profit from it)
By the way, which is curious, I personally have not heard or seen a single Russian freelance exchange where Ukrainians would be blocked (and even more so their money was squeezed out)
At the beginning of this war, I tried to make excuses and apologize. He tried to explain that I could not influence the situation in any way.
To understand the situation in my country...
If I kill a person, they will put me in jail for 10 years, with good behavior I will be released in 6.5. Moreover, an amnesty is possible in three years.
If I go out into the street with my old national flag, I will sit for 15 years, without the right to an amnesty.
And I absolutely do not understand how I will help Ukraine if I go out to protest against the war and sit down for the same 15 years.
But go ahead... Pour shit on me. I'm reasonable and understand. But the problem is that despite the fact that over the past decade we have been proving to the whole world that we are primarily an IT country, and only then our farmers are still about 70% of the population are rednecks ... And just like that they are listening to how shit is poured over them will come to the conclusion that Lukashenka is right.
And they will vote for him.
