Belarus is becoming an increasingly unstable player in Eastern Europe as the country falls further under Russia's influence, opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya told Euronews in an interview, warning that the country could serve as a launchpad for military aggression against Ukraine and other Western neighbours.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed in Munich last month that Russia plans to station up to 150,000 troops in Belarus this year, potentially targeting NATO countries. With Belarus aligning ever more closely with Moscow, Tsikhanouskaya argued that the nation’s sovereignty is at risk, leaving both its future and the security of its neighbours uncertain.
