>President Lukashenko's claim last week that his special services busted a Ukrainian-armed and opposition-led terrorist cell that was plotting attacks all across the country raises questions about the degree of Zelensky's complicity in this regional destabilization operation. >Belarusian President Lukashenko made headlines late last week after he announced that his special services busted a Ukrainian-armed and opposition-led terrorist cell that was plotting attacks all across the country. Questions immediately swirled about whether his Ukrainian counterpart was aware of what was happening in his territory or if his intelligence agencies and/or their American allies trafficked these weapons without informing him. The reason why there's so much uncertainty about all of this is that President Zelensky is practically an emasculated leader after proving himself incapable of implementing any of his policies since his surprise election in April 2019. Ukraine has also been regarded as a “shadow” (de facto) member of NATO ever since its early 2014 Color Revolution so its leaders haven't ever held any real power since then anyhow. >The analysis argued that the question of Zelensky's complicity in the Belarusian arms-smuggling operation is actually a very important one since the answer sheds light on his future actions. Considering the very high likelihood that he was at least aware of what was going on and wasn't kept in the dark out of fear that he might try to stop it for whatever reason (perhaps due to the regional peacemaking promises that he was elected on), then it surely seems as though he's submitted to the pro-Democrat faction of the US' “deep state”. This augurs real negatively for stability in Donbas since he might then just as easily submit to the Biden Administration's possible plan of worsening hostilities in Donbas for what might be the incoming president's first serious anti-Russian provocation. All of this suggests that Ukraine is embracing its role as an exporter of regional instability.
