Lukashenko tries to sit on the fence, playing both sides and keeping his options open. This is a dangerous game to play. Morever, as a means to balance out the passive Russian soft power (which is a think in Belarussia more than in Ukraine) by supporting nationalists, getting a Maidan is by far more likely in my opinion than a coup.
