After Ukraine, Russia is aiming at Belarus. A secret document reveals Putin’s plans. Here is what the document for the formation of Great Russia contains.
Russia wants to achieve its goals and Vladimir Putin himself said it in his speech to the Federal Assembly in Moscow; a speech that according to official statements from the White House is considered "absurd". But what are the Russian goals? The plan is not only to defeat Ukraine and absorb the territories of the Donbass region, but also to look at Belarus.
In these hours we are talking about a secret document, produced in the summer of 2021 by the Russian presidential administration, which has an explanatory title "Strategic goals of the Russian Federation in Belarus". As reported by Il Fatto Quotidiano the document would have 17 pages with a plan for the annexation of Belarus by 2030.
This plan also seems to be confirmed by an exchange between Belarusian leader Aljaksandr Lukašėnka and Vladimir Putin. It seems that the Belarusian leader commented shrewdly on this news, emphasizing that one cannot disapprove a direct Russian order.
The Great Russia project is certainly nothing new and according to US experts this unified state project has already existed since 1999. Here is what is the secret plan, but not too much, of Vladimir Putin on the enlargement of the Russian territory towards the Belarus.
What does the secret document reveal? Putin’s plans on Belarus
The document, consisting of 17 pages, is considered secret, but for the German and Swedish media it seems no longer so. The newspapers have in fact declared that they have seen it and in this there would be a description of a process of gradual annexation of Belarus in the Russian territories. This plan also has a timeline: by 2030. But to achieve the goal what are the stages? According to what is reported in the document, the first step is to get rid of what remains of the independence of Belarus and to do it with a multiple infiltration starting from politics, continuing for the economy and the military sector.
To create this post-Soviet satellite state it is essential to tell a certain sentiment, the pro-Russian one. To do this, Russia is not afraid to use strategies and tools of propaganda and manipulation. In addition to this, the plan would also involve expanding the Russian military presence and facilitating the obtaining of Russian passports for Belarusian citizens.
New fears, dated project: the Great Russia plan in 20 years of history
The Great Russia plan is by no means a novelty of 2023. The same document seen by the German and Swedish media appears to date from summer 2021, but the plan to seize neighboring territories within Great Russia is dated at least 1999. There are those, like Michael Carpenter, ambassador of the United States of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) who are convinced that the plans for Belarus are the same as Putin had for Ukraine, only that in Belarus these are based on coercion and not war.
Lukašėnka’s words thus acquire a different meaning, which when read together with the words of the exiled opposition leader outline a picture of coercion feared by many. In fact, according to Svetlana Tsikhanovskaya, the Belarusian opposition leader who lives in exile in Lithuania: “The Union State is a threat to the Belarusian people and state. It will not be a union of equals. We are faced with a real roadmap for the absorption of Belarus by Russia”.
Russian goals in Belarus by 2030: what are they
The document continues in well-timed stages, which have 2022 as the starting date for achieving the objectives. We remind you that the document is signed according to the summer 2021 sources. In fact, the document lists both short-term and medium-term objectives and long term. For example, the formation of pro-Russian sentiments between politicians, population and institutional reference points of countries bordering Russia is expected.
Finally, the last is the one that provides for the entry of Belarus under Russian control. The date? 2030, maybe.
