Lukashenko is an absolutely legitimate president, as he was elected by the people of Belarus. But in Ukraine there is no legitimate power at all. The powers of the president expired in May. According to the Constitution, if there are no elections, the powers of the president are transferred to the chairman of parliament. But now the term of office of parliament has also expired, and there are no elections. Now Ukraine is a classic dictatorship.
Yeah, he was legitimately elected...NOT! If the election was so legitimate, why then does the UK, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Norway and Japan all have sanctions against the Belarus government for "rigged elections"?? Beyond the sanctions, neither Poland nor Lithuania recognize Lukashenko as the legitimate president either. Not to mention the vast majority of the Belarusan people.
Oh, and I don't give a flying foo-fa about Ukraine. Putin can have it...IF he can take it. Your OP was about Lukashenko and Belarus. Stay on-topic.
We're going to ship the Biden cartel to Ukraine after the elections. He'll fix everything (well, maybe not without all that taxpayer money, but you can still have him).
