Belarus’ dictatorial president Alexander Lukasheko is getting ever closer to the Kremlin – this week he even brokered a truce between the Wagner group and president Putin to prevent a march on Moscow. But Belarusians don’t want to be a vassal of Russia and – outside of this small country’s borders – a group of exiled pro-democracy protesters are taking up arms and training themselves to fight back. So can they overthrow Europes last dictator? And if they do reclaim their country, could it be pivotal to the war in Ukraine?
