  4. Hello #yamisa8059 I hope that the following information may be supportive and reassuring to you and to others also. 🇧🇾 🇺🇦 🇰🇿 Jake Broe was not saying that he believes that Belarus is not a country in its own right. He was paraphrasing the comment by Margarita Simonyan. Simonyan is an exceptionally vocal spokesperson for the Russian political and military establishment, for Putin and the Kremlin. I believe that Jake Broe and I, with millions of others, share a distinct dislike for Simonyan and many others in her media group and occupation. 🇧🇾 🇺🇦 🇰🇿 Portion of Simonyan's statement was, "...... it is the first war in our history, in which we have no allies at all ...." at about min 15:30 The corollary or extention of her statement, despite the support that Lukashenko has given to the Russians, is that the Russians do not see Belarus as a country, in its own right. 🇧🇾 🇺🇦 🇰🇿 What is the myth? "Myth 11: ‘The peoples of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia are one nation’ " https://www.chathamhouse.org/2021/05/myths-and-misconceptions-debate-russia/myth-11-peoples-ukraine-belarus-and-russia-are-one "The claim that the peoples of Ukraine and Belarus are sub-nations of a single community known as the ‘triune’ or all-Russian nation (триединый/общерусский народ) is an ideological construct dating back to imperial times. It builds on the idea that a pan-Russian nation with roots in the medieval Kievan Rus’, the cradle of Orthodox Christianity for Eastern Slavs, developed and flourished from the 14th century onwards around the principality of Muscovy. The problem with attributing an exclusive Kievan inheritance to the Muscovite princes – and thus giving credence to what is a founding myth of Russian statehood to this day – is that it distorts history and is used for justifying Russia’s current irredentist ambitions towards its western neighbours." 🇧🇾 🇺🇦 🇰🇿 BY ANDREI BABITSKY https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/ukraine-not-russia-neither-belarus "Ukraine is not Russia, and neither is Belarus. Before Russia invaded Ukraine in February, I thought it was obvious and not in need of further examination. It didn't strike me that a person who disagreed with this simple observation and who had an army at his disposal would be willing to bet thousands of lives and the future of his own country just to prove himself right. But failing to proclaim this simple truth—Ukraine is not Russia, and neither is Belarus—loudly, publicly, and often turned out to the wrong decision, and I regret my personal lacking in this respect. If many like me had broadcast it daily, it might have helped avoid this insane war. "I’m not going to talk about Ukraine, as Ukrainians are every day proving their separate, independent existence beyond a reasonable doubt. "But Belarus is another matter. Many people in Russia, in the United States, and in Europe still treat Belarus and Russia as if they were one and the same. And for many refugees from Belarus who fled to Ukraine during the last couple of years, this confusion is not only unfair but dangerous, as they are not considered among the “usual” refugees, who are granted protected status. "So let me elaborate, as the political struggles of Belarus have important moral and political consequences. 🇧🇾 🇺🇦 🇰🇿 The same applies to Ukraine and Kazakhstan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakh_Khanate "In 2013, President Vladimir Putin raised controversy when he claimed that “Kazakhs had never had statehood”, in what seemed to be an apparent response to growing nationalism among Kazakhstanis. Putin's remarks on the matter led to a severe response from President Nazarbayev, who announced that the country would celebrate the 550th anniversary of the Kazakh Khanate, which effectively refutes Putin's claim that a Kazakh nation has never existed. He also threatened to withdraw from the Eurasian Economic Union, saying that the independence of the country is his "most precious treasure" and that Kazakhs "will never surrender" their independence. "In December 2020, Putin's derogatory comments were repeated by at least two Russian lawmakers. 🇧🇾 🇺🇦 🇰🇿
