00:01A Ucrânia impôs novas sanções contra o líder bielorrusso Alexander Lukashenko por
00:07ajudar a Rússia a sustentar a guerra contra Kiev.
00:10A líder da oposição bielorussa, svietlana Tsikhanouskaya, falou à Euronews sobre a
00:16influência do seu país na guerra da Rússia.
00:19A Rússia pode usar a Bielorrus como plataforma de pressão e até agressão contra a Europa.
00:25Under Lukashenko, Bielorrus has become deeply integrated into Russia's war machine.
00:31Russian troops train there, joint military infrastructure is being modernized.
00:37Russia has deployed nuclear weapons in Belarus and is building infrastructure for systems
00:43like the Russian missile.
00:45This creates direct threats not only to Ukraine but also to Poland, the Baltic states and actually
00:51the wider Europe.
00:52It shortens warning times and increases escalation risks.
00:57Volodymyr Zelensky observou que, sem essa assistência, o número de ataques russos à infraestrutura
01:02energética e ferroviária no norte da Ucrânia provavelmente teria sido menor.
01:07Belarusian society is overwhelmingly against the war.
01:11The army's loyalty in such a scenario is not guaranteed.
01:15And Lukashenko understands that direct participation could destabilize his own regime.
01:21So, yes, Moscow will continue to pressure Minsk.
01:24But Belarus remains one of the weakest link in Russia's regional architecture.
01:29A democratic Belarus would remove major military footholds from Russia's western flank.
01:34This is why the Belarusian dimension must be part of any serious discussion about European
01:40security and the end of this war.
01:43O pacote de sanções surge depois dos Estados Unidos ter aliviado algumas das suas sanções
01:49à Belarusia e do país ter aderido ao controverso Conselho de Paz.
01:54Obrigado por assistir!
