editIs it really undisputed? I see why Abkhazia & South Ossetia are called this way but even North Cyprus is listed as disputed Braganza (talk) 12:30, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- Removed. We really need much better sources than what we currently have. One of the sources cited goes as far as to claim that Belarus was already "de facto annexed". Of course, the author of this piece is not a surprise. Another source cited also refers to Lukashenko as a puppet, which is not the same. The rest belongs to think tanks.
