In the latest episode of Belarus Factor, Ivan Kravtsov engages in a sharp, insightful conversation with Kamil Klysinski, Senior Fellow at the Center for Eastern Studies (OSW) in Warsaw, who has spent nearly 20 years analyzing Belarusian politics. They dive straight into the geopolitical game: Belarus seems sidelined in critical peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, despite its pivotal position in the conflict.

Klysinski delivers a striking message—"everything is on the table," yet Belarus struggles to find a seat. This episode unpacks Lukashenko’s eroding autonomy, intensifying dependence on Russia, and how Western sanctions are reshaping Belarus' political and economic landscape.

Is there room left for pragmatic diplomacy, or is Belarus trapped in political isolation?
