To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Estonian FM has come out and said Lukashenka demanded lifting of sanctions and EU recognition of himself as the legitimate president of Belarus in exchange for 'ending' the crisis during the meeting with Merkel.

There are actual border clashes and encroachments taking place right now in the Caucasus instead of this nothingburger.

Lukashenko sounds completely unhinged in his latest BBC interview - more or less openly admitting to what he's doing with migrants, answering a question about closing down NGOs with something like "all the scum the West is sending us", literally just shouting in some moments, etc, etc.

It’s usually hard to tell how much of it is an act with Luka. His pubic persona has always been as the “says it like it is” everyman former collective farm manager.

Wut? I'm not sure this is real. Sounds like fake news. There may be a buildup to fearmonger, I really doubt there will be a full scale invasion.

Such an attack would likely involve airstrikes, artillery and armor attacks followed by airborne assaults in the east, amphibious assaults in Odessa and Mariupul and a smaller incursion through neighboring Belarus, Ukraine Brig. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov told Military Times Saturday morning in an exclusive interview.

Russia’s large-scale Zapad 21 military exercise earlier this year proved, for instance, that they can drop upwards of 3,500 airborne and special operations troops at once, he said.

The attack Russia is preparing, said Budanov, would be far more devastating than anything before seen in the conflict that began in 2014 that has seen some 14,000 Ukrainians killed.
