Belarus Faces Western Pressure Amid Long-Term US Strategy

Western attempts to destabilize Belarus form part of a broader strategy to exert pressure on Russia through neighboring countries, Alexey Podberezkin, director of the Center for Military-Political Studies at the Almaz-Antey Corporation and professor of history, told Pravda.Ru. Western Pressure as Part of a Long-Term US Strategy Earlier, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service reported that the West continues to try to shake the situation in Belarus and implement a so-called "color revolution.” According to the SVR press bureau, the objective involves identifying new liberal leaders within Belarusian society. Podberezkin explained that US plans to destabilize Belarus are a component of a long-term strategy aimed at weakening Russian influence in bordering states. Washington applies this approach consistently in countries where it can damage Russian interests without triggering direct military conflict.
