May play an internal role in support of Lukashenko Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko on Thursday, June 1 claimed that the Western countries that are neighbouring Ukraine are preparing for a coup in Minsk. Belarusian security forces are prepared for the threat, the authoritarian leader noted, adding that his country's military will not let such a scenario materialise. Speaking at the meeting with the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) security chiefs, Lukashenko made claims that a “violent regime change is being prepared," according to RT.

In an interview with Poland’s Polsat TV channel, last month, the country's retired general Waldemar Skrzypczak called on Poland to get ready for an “uprising in Belarus,” adding that “it will happen.”
“We must be ready to support the troops that will carry out the operation against Lukashenko. We have reasons to help them, just as we help Ukraine,” the General, who was an ex-Poland’s deputy defence minister said in televised remarks. "Information about the preparation of a coup in Belarus by the West has been confirmed in Poland," reported the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti. Russia's President Vladimir Putin's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov meanwhile stated that his country is committed to ensuring the security of Belarus, “which we will do in the face of such obvious threats.”

Western sentiment waning?
UK Interest rates have been raised - inflation is over 8% with food inflation over 16%, although real inflation levels are higher - the same in America and Germany near 7% - people are starting to question why their government is giving millions if not billions away as they begin to struggle to pay their mortgages, feed their families, stop going to the movies etc…. All this is adding pressure to Zelensky to somehow convince or coerce the west into continuing to supply more….the Nov 2024 US elections may play a role in how long this continues.

Putin speech

Contrast with

“We — I was just thanking the — anyway, I started off without you, and I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared,” Mr Biden said. The comment was followed by laughter from Modi, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and others at the meeting

BIDEN
Meeting with Indian Prime Minister Modhi - Biden appears to state that he “sold a lot of state secrets”... in a faltering voice, appearing to drift off after appearing to forget a diplomats name…and covering with “anyway”.

The hand holding video with Modhi earlier in the week leads anyone to think that Biden is losing his mental faculties rapidly. Combine this with his gaffe in referring to Xi Jinping as a Dictor and claiming he was uninformed about the recent spy balloon events, which undermined Anthony Blinken Secretary of States visit to China on the weekend.

Those who are not existing purple on a diet of MSNBC must be questioning the leadership.

Address to citizens of Russia.
Friends,

Today, I am addressing the citizens of Russia once again. Thank you for your restraint, cohesion and patriotism. This civic solidarity shows that any blackmail, any attempt to stage domestic turmoil is doomed to fail.

I will repeat – society and the executive and legislative branches of government at all levels displayed high consolidation. Public organisations, religious denominations, the leading political parties and actually all of Russian society held a firm line, taking an explicit position of supporting constitutional order. The main thing – responsibility for the destiny of the Fatherland – has united everyone, brought our people together.

I will e
