Mass unrest followed Lukashenko’s re-election victory last week, as tens of thousands of people took to the streets accusing him of rigging the vote.

“There is a need to contact Putin so that I can talk to him now, because it is not a threat to just Belarus anymore,” he said, according to state news agency Belta. “Defending Belarus today is no less than defending our entire space, the union state, and an example to others ... Those who roam the streets, most of them do not understand this.”

Unlike the United States, which has abandoned its allies, Putin does not abandon his friends. This is evident in Syria and Venezuela. Lukashenko will also help.

指望搞白俄罗斯之夏吗?

Sativa888 Need to talk to Putin? 🤔

Help big brother, I need help!

Lukashenko fears waining support for his dictatorship, seeks help from another dictator, Putin, eventhough he dislikes him. He hasn’t been forthcoming enough to Putin’s efforts to gain influence in Belarus! What a mess! How long will it take for the east to become democratic!

Lukashenko is a cynical dictator who lost the elections rigged by himself. As punishment for this, he drowned his country in blood

2 dictators enter in a bar...

Putin wants to implement the same Ukrainian plan in belarusia

Who knew Putin was on the ballot?

Term Limits?

His days in office are numbered; he's living 'on borrowed time'! The genie is out of the bottle and the people for certain will NOT back down. All it takes - I predict in a week or two - is for some parts of THE ARMY to call it a day and escort Lukashenko on his way into exile!

Nope what he needs to do is step down. He's had 26 years. Time for someone else to make a change.

зверства силовиков в Беларуси это фашизм , кровавый диктатор Лукашенко ,укравший с ЦИК Ермошиной голоса избирателей у Тихановской ,готов на всё чтобы остаться в кресле -даже на аншлюс Беларуси в состав РФ под маской 'союзного государства' -народ говорит Лукашенко : ' УХОДИ ! '

Resign please, your dictatorship time is up now! Appoint neutral interim govt that must held free and fair election!

Time’s person of the year should be a Protestor this year.

Please don’t turn Belarus into the second Ukraine!

He sounds like Trump, running to daddy.

Lukashenko: you despicable swine, protesters will decide what is good for the future of the country!

Coward this guy Needs to be jailed

إرحل

The🇪🇺EU interested in enlargement is trying to feed and support the conditions for another violent& broken 🇺🇦Ukraine, in Belarus🇧🇾once again with🇺🇸US support. It's one more INJUSTICE.

How long before Lukaschenko is seen running across a tarmac in the dead of night, boarding a private east-bound jet?

İt even can cause doomsday

By inviting Russia to suppress the people of Belarus, he lost the legitimacy to be leader of Belarus

Putin vs the world. (Oh, I know they are very fine people...)

Wasn't Lukoshenko the Ukrainian source for the GeldingsOfPutin GOP fighting the impeachment?

Putin controls the United States, Belarus, and Eastern Ukraine. He should just resuscitate the USSR.

Should call his comrades trump, bozonaro, kim ping pong, assad, and erdogal also... They are probably all in the same family.

BelarusMFA 'whose guide is crow his nose wont go out of the shit'

Russia only intervenes if foreign power do it first, the got no love for Lukashenko, and after Lukashenko another Lukashenko will amerce, nothing will change.

'Dear Leader Putin, please get Belarus under control so I can keep telling everyone I'm president.' -Lukasheko

Looks like it's time for a ... Soviet ReUnion

Does he mean Putin behind him?

As neighbour of belarus we watching this situation. This is dangerous for belarussians and for their country. He saying to people that they are people without jobs or from other countries trying to make a protests. And now he directly wanna to sell this country. Absurd

He needs go to to daddy Putin for help to crush dissent the right way

Geez!

The last picture of Lukashenko will be similar to the last photo of Mussolini.

Another CIA sponsored color revolution in a country bordering Russia.

So he wants to bring the Soviet Union back? Is that what the protesters don't understand?

What a gutless coward

He would sacrifice Belarus independence if it meant staying in power even nominally.

As a matter of fact, he knows the situations, good enough and knows when he is against power source (Godfather of region), He must endure hardships and disobediences.

Wow... imagine having to get another country to help you stop your own people from protesting corruption? What a simp

911 - Putin!
