This story in Belarus is incredible

a little unfair .... Frankfurt Hahn to Frankfurt is only 120km ....

And their Dusseldorf one is a hour and a half by bus. It's almost in the Netherlands.

Putin and Lukashenko don’t like each other. It’s true that Putin has designs on Belarus but over the years Lukashenko has played Russia and the West very cannily so as not to get too close to either.

However, the recent protests and undemocratic election have lost him favour in the West and this should further alienate him and push him into Putin’s arms. He’s playing a very dangerous game that could lead to a giant mess as the people have been on the streets and not because they want closer ties with Russia…

Like Raab said I don’t think they’d have the balls to do this without some reassurances from the Kremlin

Maybe, maybe not. It wouldn’t surprise me, but Lukashenko doesn’t always play Moscow’s game either.

It’s handy for Raab to involve naughty Russia
