Andrei Suzdaltsev: Breus and Gaponov will be put on probation

In Suzdaltsev’s opinion, the hearing has a great “political fund”. On the one hand, the fact that Russian citizens are standing trail should demonstrate Belarusians that Alyaksandr Lukashenka is a politician completely independent from Moscow. On the other hand, Russia perceives the trial as “humiliation of the Russian flag and disrespect for the Kremlin“. Taking the increasing Belarus’ dependence on Russia, Minsk will have to make “Solomon’s decision” . Atryom Breus and Ivan Gaponov will be returned guilty but they will be put on probation, thinks the Russian expert.
