Greetings from the Bunker! In this 1-on-1 episode with Darth, we discuss:
Russia-Belarus integration process: Yeah, we all have heard about it for over two decades, and Russia's appetite to swallow Belarus sounds like a false alarm—until it isn't.
Putin's visit to Belarus on May 23, 2024. After all, Vladimir doesn't have many choices for traveling these days. The ICC warrant might have something to do with it. It's a good thing that Luka simply can't say no to him, so they can keep each other company.
- The Kremlin placed tactical nukes in Belarus a year ago. Why bother? Since it doesn't give Moscow's management an actual strategic advantage.
The reorientation of Belarusian state-owned enterprises towards servicing Russian military needs.
Grotesque trials against Lukashenka's opponents in absentia, where I am among the defendants.
Yours sincerely,
Katie from Minsk
