In the latest episode of Ukraine This Week, Anna Belokur examines why the United States is re-engaging with Belarus — and what it could mean for Russia’s war against Ukraine. The episode explores what the U.S. aims to achieve through renewed dialogue, as well as the risks — from legitimizing Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko’s regime to potentially strengthening Russia if Belarus remains firmly in Moscow’s orbit. Featuring reporting from the Belarusian opposition’s representation office in Kyiv and analysis from experts, the episode examines whether engagement with Minsk could reshape the geopolitical balance — or reinforce the status quo.
