I am not saying your way of saying was wrong, I am just explaining why it misguided me after the quick read. As "best out of most" is not that usual wording practice.
Example: nobody says "Durant is best out of most NBA players". Everybody says "Durant is one of the best NBA players". Just strange wording.
Just explaining where my misreading of your post came from.

Good, since this was point of what we were writing. (English is not my primary language and that was useful to read. What you explained is something I simply can't feel easily when I am talking or writing)

So, like I said, your assumptions were 100% wrong and my views towards Russia 0% applies to my views towards Belarus.

Russian propaganda, imperialism and whatever you used to describe it is a child game compared to "western" that you are not mentioning (if I've noticed it good). But that is some other theme.
How I see is that Lukashenko is trying to get something from this mess in Ukraine. And that something is to be more accepted by west. Lukashenko said that he would be ready to serve as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine, what would give him certain level of legitimacy. He is not stupid guy. He knows very well how easily "west" can change picture about someone through media,in a record short time (terrorists suddenly become prime ministers, guarants of peace can also become balkan butchers, etc....you should know what people are described in this example how medias and propaganda work flawlessly).
