If Putin loses Belarus, he loses the war.

American historian Yuri Felshtinsky believes that the liberation of Belarus will ensure Russia's defeat. He expressed this opinion in an interview with the Ukrainian YouTube channel "Odessa.live":

- If Russia loses control over Belarus, it loses the opportunity to attack Kiev and invade Europe. Russia's springboard for invasion is this Belarus. If Russia loses control of Belarus, Putin loses the war.

Of liberating Crimea, Putin will not lose the war. I don't know how realistic the scenario of squeezing the entrenched Russian troops out of Crimea is. But regime change in Belarus can be quite simple.

There are three points on which the Belarusian regime holds on. These are two oil refineries and a strategic airfield in Baranovichi. I believe that Ukraine should have struck at these facilities in 2022. Then the course of the war could have gone differently.
