    Isn’t Lukashenko just Belarusian Yeltsin

    No. He literally came to power by fighting against privatization and shock therapy.

      he's the opposite of Yeltsin, thats the big reason why he's targeted, Western elites want a repeat of the fall of the USSR where State Assets are privatized on the penny. The West is backing the main opposition leader Tikhonovskaya and her platform is neoliberalism 101:

      “To create new jobs, a high-quality macroeconomic policy is needed; that is, low inflation, disciplined budget policy, wide scope for private initiative and responsibility for investment decisions.”

      “the right to freely hire workers.” Translated into understandable language, this means: “to allow the employer to freely hire or fire workers without any responsibility.”
