Belarus: A Prolonged Hybrid War?

Belarus: West's Long Game. Political analyst Aleksandr Alesin recently discussed the West's strategy against Belarus, characterizing it as a prolonged hybrid war. This strategy, Alesin claims, involves sustained economic, informational, and cultural pressure, designed for long-term impact. Even without immediate success, the West's approach, Alesin argues, is focused on achieving results over years or even decades. This strategy targets those dissatisfied with the current regime, although their overt activity has lessened. However, Alesin warns that external threats or internal funding could easily reignite dissent. Alesin's analysis highlights the complex and enduring nature of the geopolitical tensions surrounding Belarus.
