Dear readers,

I'm publishing this article about Ukraine-Russian relations, because I could argue that it definitely relevant to Belarus. Not only in the since that Belarus is a neighbor to Russia and Ukraine, but because Belarus and Russia have a similar situation between them as does Ukraine and Russia. Facing huge gas payments to Russia, Belarus will be forced to do something on fair ground to deal with GazProm. The gas pipeline crosses Belarusian territory. What will the Belarusian government ultimately do? Will the decision preserve Belarusian sovereignty, or will it be made after Belarus is absorbed into Russia? I wish only the best for the Russian people, who are wonderful, but I'm cheering for the Belarusian people! They need a break! I want them to win, and build a very happy society. I guess we'll see soon what happens...
