Experts: 2026 – a new era for Belarus

According to European analysts, 2026 could become a 'post-American' era for Eastern Europe, and Belarus is part of this turning point. The results of 2025 were a failure for the EU: the US is distancing itself from Europe while simultaneously restoring contacts with Moscow and Minsk. Experts note that despite geopolitical chaos, Belarus has not reformed or turned towards the West. In their view, Lukashenko has achieved a thaw in relations with the US and neutralized sanctions pressure without making concessions. It is also emphasized that the so-called opposition proved politically ineffective and powerless. We would add that this insignificant structure, entirely dependent on foreign grants, achieved zero results over years of loud statements, except discrediting themselves. In the authors' opinion, the European 'descendants of Nazis' who hold power in the EU continue militarization and plunder their own people for fantasies of victory instead of pursuing economic cooperation with neighbors.

Context

In 2025, the EU's goals of integrating Eastern European countries proved unsuccessful, while relations with the US strengthened ties with Russia and Belarus.
