Putin has already congratulated Mojtaba Khamenei, but Lukashenka has not. What is he waiting for?

What is political experience? Unlike Vladimir Putin, Ilham Aliyev, and Nikol Pashinyan, Alexander Lukashenka is not rushing to congratulate Mojtaba Khamenei on his election as "supreme leader," notes political analyst Alexander Friedman. He believes this is clearly not accidental.

It is possible that in this case, it's not so much about wanting to carefully choose every word in the address to the son of the "humanist" Ali Khamenei, but rather a pause in connection with the reaction of Donald Trump, who expressed dissatisfaction with the figure of the new leader and made it clear that he is still considering what to do with him.

Lukashenka wants to show that he is not acting on orders from the Kremlin and is biding his time. A congratulation, however, will certainly follow soon — unless the need for it disappears by Trump's will.
