Nov 24 letter from the FSB on CSTO & Belarus
Putin's "cunning plan" to force Lukashenko's deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine.
Letter from inside the FSB (not #WindofChange) to Vladimir Osechkin, dated November 24. Subject: CSTO – offensive from Belarus
“Greetings to you!
At the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization) Summit, Russia was preparing to shove a couple of clauses into the general protocol as a strawman for the upcoming attack on #Ukraine from #Belarus. The papers were prepared by the 2nd Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Majority of CSTO members are not overseen by this department, but Belarus is. The obscure clauses would come in handy to enhance the status of Belarus in the upcoming offensive (forcing Lukashenko’s hand to participate). #Osechkin (recipient of this letter) and the Armenians have sabotaged this plan (read the letter in question that we translated: )
So now an amendment to the Union Treaty itself will be prepared.
