Russia has been steadily increasing its power and influence over its neighbor Belarus, but the countries leaders President Vladimir Putin and President Alexander Lukashenko are somewhat uncomfortable allies it s arguable that any allegiance is fragile at best, and borne out of necessity. For Belarus, Russia is a powerful economic and political partner and a source of support, having backed Lukashenko s leadership which is now in its 27th year. For Russia, Belarus offers an opportunity to exert economic and political influence in the region, and is a convenient bulwark against what it sees as the European encroachment upon its former territories, such as Ukraine. Putin is known to favor stability and predictability and, as such, a longstanding leader like Lukashenko in power who can potentially be more easily influenced is favored over regime change.
