Calls for Belarus to oust Lukashenko happening simultaneously along with his implication of Russian oligarchs in the Ukraine invasion as being purely a money-grab implies he's going for a small-Russia policy to appease/pacify the west while implicating Putin in a financial rather than patriotic or anti-Nazi purpose for the Ukraine war.
