Earlier this week, several Belarusian opposition figures were arrested in their home country and in neighboring Russia. The two nations made it clear that those arrested are all suspected of plotting an armed insurrection against President Alexander Lukashenko, whose long grip on power was challenged last year by mass protests.
Members of the alleged conspiracy, who remain free, dismissed the accusations and said they were simply fantasizing about Lukashenko’s downfall.
The existence of an alleged plot to kill Lukashenko, other top Belarusian officials, and even their family members was revealed on Saturday. In Minsk, the national broadcaster ONT ran a story naming suspected conspirators and exposing their plans. The report offered as evidence several clips of what appears to be Zoom meetings between them.

Both people were arrested in Moscow this week, the FSB, Russia’s security service, announced on Sunday. The agency said it was tipped off by their counterparts in the Belarussian KGB that Zenkovich and Feduta were going to Moscow to meet people they believed to be “Belarusian generals” ready to turn against Lukashenko.
The plan discussed at the meeting, as described by the FSB, involved killing “almost the entire leadership”of Belarus, a military coup, and a power blackout of the entire country. “It was suggested that the active phase would be launched by some armed groups (‘partisans’), who are currently stationed at ‘secret bases’,” the FSB reported. The action was reportedly scheduled for May 9, when Belarus holds a military parade dedicated to the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945.
Lukashenko himself spoke to the media to explain how his various opponents were plotting against him and his two sons. The group that includes Zenkovich and Feduta was “definitely the work of foreign intelligence,” he claimed, “most likely the CIA or the FBI.”
Belarus: US-Backed 'Coup' Attempt Unfolded, Says President
A U.S.-backed assassination attempt against Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and his family has been foiled by Russian and Belarusian intelligence services, Lukashenko himself reported Sunday.

Two Belarusian citizens were arrested in Moscow in relation with the operation: political scientist Alexander Feduta and lawyer Yuri Zenkovich, who also has US citizenship, the President said.
The announcement comes after the Belarusian security services, the KGB, announced on Friday evening that they had dismantled, during a "special operation", an "organised group of terrorist orientation" which was planning the "physical elimination of the president and his family" and "the organization of an armed rebellion in order to take power by violent means."

Intelligence circuits are buzzing Sunday with news that the foiled assassination plot against Belarus President Lukashenko has convinced him that his country should MERGE with Russia for protection.
The alleged plot, which was reportedly foiled yesterday, was said to have been approved by the US C.I.A. because Lukashenko allowed Russian Army units to "share" Belarus military bases, as the troubles in Ukraine get worse.
This sharing agreement means that Ukraine is almost completely surrounded by Russia, or Russia-favorable countries, and if a fight erupts between Ukraine and Russia, it is now likely Ukraine will be "disintegrated" - won't exist as a country anymore
If any of Ukraine is allowed to continue in existence as its own political entity, it will likely be severed from the Black Sea, by Russian troops seizing all the land to Odessa!
The map below shows the present situation in Ukraine: Luhansk and Donetsk are already seeking to leave Ukraine and are being attacked by Ukraine troops trying to topple those states and get them to submit to the Ukraine Capital in Kiev. Crimea, at the southern end of the country, has already voted to leave Ukraine and has already been accepted back into territorial Russia by the Russian government.
If Russian troops have to enter Ukraine to protect Luhansk and Donetsk from Ukrainian Army attack, then those Russian troops will likely also take the states of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya, Kherson and Odessa. They __may__ even take Mykolayiv, which would totally cut the remaining "Ukraine" off from the Black Sea as shown below:
This would mirror the Ukraine ELECTION RESULTS from the final election before their government was overthrown by European and American meddling back in the year 2014.
In the final Presidential Election before the overthrow, democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovich carried the entire east and southeast of Ukraine! Yanukovich was favorable to Russia, his base of support are mostly Russian-speaking and are favorable to Russia as well.
But Europe and America refused to accept when Yanukovich turned down their offer to become closer with the West. Yanukovich decided Ukraine was better if it stayed with Russia.
If successful, those missile bases would be within FIVE MINUTES MISSILE FLIGHT TIME to hit Russia's nuclear arsenal. The Russians wouldn't even have time enough to defend their own missiles, then find themselves decapitated by a NATO first strike, and at that point, would have no way of defending themselves from invasion and takeover.
So Russia sees its very existence as being in jeopardy by what the EU and USA are doing in Ukraine, and that's why Russia is stepping-up, full-bore, to get this NATO nonsense stopped in Ukraine . . . even if that means invading Ukraine and wiping it out.
Today, more trainloads of tanks arrived in Rostov-on-Don but THESE tanks had an interesting added feature: Fording Kits! In the video below, you can see those kits, in green, atop each tank:
