    • Abstract:
      The article "Belarus at War" describes the effects of Russian aggression against Ukraine on Belarus. Belarus is increasingly dependent on Russia due to the presence of Russian troops, the deployment of nuclear weapons, and increased oil and gas subsidies. President Lukashenko supports Russia in the war against Ukraine, which is very unpopular in Belarus and has incurred high costs. The West has imposed sanctions on Belarus. The deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus increases Russia's control over the country and reduces the threshold for Belarus' involvement in the war. The Lukashenko regime is seen as toxic by Western politicians, and public sentiment in Belarus is largely negative. Belarus is economically, financially, and energy-wise heavily dependent on Russia. The Lukashenko regime suppresses opposition members and political prisoners, has enacted laws providing for the death penalty for attempted terrorist acts, and offers the possibility to revoke the citizenship of individuals deemed extremist. Opposition parties and civil society structures have been dissolved, and independent media and cultural institutions are suppressed. [Extracted from the article]
    • Abstract:
      Die Aggression Russlands gegen die Ukraine wurde zum wichtigsten Einflussfaktor der Außen- und Innenpolitik von Belarus. Durch Präsenz russischer Truppen, die jüngste Stationierung von Kernwaffen sowie eine Verdreifachung der Öl- und Gaszuschüsse vertieft die Abhängigkeit des Landes von Russland. Angesichts der Verschärfung der Gesetzgebung und repressiver Maßnahmen zur Abschaffung der Opposition wandelt sich Belarus von einem autoritären in ein totalitäres Regime. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
