projects. Usually described as a loyal vassal of Moscow, in reality Minsk has pursued its own agenda,
which is often at odds with Russian expectations. Belarus has increasingly questioned the economic benefits
of participating in Eurasian integration structures. It, however, remains heavily dependent on Russian
support, which leaves the country with limited geopolitical room for manoeuvre. This has only been exacerbated
by the ongoing crisis in Crimea and Ukraine.

Dezember 2010 haben sich die Beziehungen zwischen Minsk und Moskau spürbar verschlechtert. Die bekannten Energiekonflikte zwischen Russland und Belarus wurden durch einen sehr öffentlichen Informationskrieg ergänzt, der in den Medien beider

Russia can no longer be relied upon to provide political backing for Belarus’s long-serving president, Alexander Lukashenko, however the Kremlin is not yet openly backing an alternative candidate.
