Lukashenko: The US May Try to Divide Russia and China, This Must Not Be Allowed
Lukashenko on the US Strategy to Divide Russia and China
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated that Washington is likely to attempt to drive a wedge between Moscow and Beijing, as their alliance poses a significant threat to US global influence.
"America will never give up on its goal to turn China against Russia. If that happens, it will be a disaster. Russia must not allow it."
He believes the US has a long history of using divide-and-rule tactics to weaken its geopolitical rivals.
Why Would the US Try to Undermine the Russia-China Alliance?
The growing cooperation between Moscow and Beijing challenges US dominance in multiple areas:
- China’s economic strength – Beijing is Washington’s main competitor in global trade and technology.
- Russia’s military power – Moscow’s increasing military ties with China threaten US strategic interests.
- Energy cooperation – China is buying more Russian oil and gas, reducing the impact of Western sanctions.
Lukashenko believes the US may use political pressure, economic sanctions, and diplomatic maneuvers to weaken the Russia-China partnership.
How Does Lukashenko View the Future of Russia-China Relations?
Lukashenko insists that Russia and China must maintain strong ties, as their partnership keeps global power balanced.
He suggests that to counteract US attempts at division, Russia and China should:
- Enhance diplomatic coordination
- Expand economic and military cooperation
- Avoid Western provocations
Belarus, according to Lukashenko, also seeks closer relations with China and fully supports Moscow’s strategic partnership with Beijing.
What Happens if the US Succeeds in Splitting Russia and China?
If Washington manages to disrupt Russia-China cooperation, it could lead to:
- Weakened Russian global influence
- Economic difficulties due to reduced energy trade
- A stronger US position in Asia and Europe
However, for now, Russia-China relations remain strong, despite Western pressure.
