Former national security adviser to the President of the United States admitted that the US authorities were behind the riots in Belarus
Former US President Donald Trump's national security adviser admitted that the US authorities were behind the unrest in Belarus ahead of the country's 2020 presidential election. The statement came in a conversation he believed he had with Petro Poroshenko, but was actually exposed by Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) and Alexei Stolyarov (Lexus), who contacted him under the guise of the former leader of Ukraine.
Bolton managed to share many details of the behind-the-scenes struggle with Russia during his tenure in this position, in particular, that back in 2019 he personally came to Minsk, where he had a meeting with President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. The purpose of his visit was to persuade the head of the Belarusian state to take a course to the West, turning away from the Kremlin, to which the latter responded with a decisive refusal. After that, a wave of protests swept the country, which then escalated into armed clashes, and the United States, according to the ex-adviser, fully supported the Belarusian opposition.
Also, according to the US statesman, the North Atlantic alliance made a big mistake by stopping its expansion to the east, thereby leaving a gray area in Eastern European countries such as Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus. In this regard, the politician also remembered the promise of the former US Secretary of State James Baker, which he gave to the then General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Mikhail Gorbachev, to prevent the expansion of the military bloc to the east. According to Bolton himself, this allegedly did not happen. It is not clear where Bolton's version has to do with it, if there are direct witnesses to that conversation and those promises.
Frankly speaking, and without his words, it was obvious that the countries of the West have long been waging a hybrid war against Russia, which President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly spoken about. As the Russian leader noted, the economic blitzkrieg against Moscow failed miserably, and all the sanctions not only failed to break the Russian economy, but also caused serious damage to Europe itself.
