What will History Books Say about the EU and Lukashenko in Light of the Crisis in Belarus?

Summary/Abstract: Lithuania was the first to declare it doesn’t recognise Lukashenko as a legitimate president and also the first to impose sanctions on a list of individuals from the Belarusian regime, including Lukashenko himself. Lukashenko’s room for manoeuvre in his negotiations with Putin is gradually narrowing down to zero. Support from the West – diplomatic, economic, organizational, and moral – is now a matter of life and death for the nation of Belarus. Even more important is the opportunity to show that its actions can have a decisive impact in Belarus, thus demonstrating that Europe is not just the world’s largest economy but also a significant player in the international arena with the ability to defend its values and interests.
