It's been claimed Belarus dictator Alexander Lukashenko fears for his life after his foreign minister was ‘murdered’ with a poison produced by Russia’s spy agency.
The death of Vladimir Makei has sparked panic in Belarusian political circles with president Lukashenko said to be in a state of shock.
It comes after Mr Makei, 64, died last weekend, reportedly of a heart attack, days before he was due to meet his Kremlin counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Belarusian capital Minsk. The claim has been disputed by some experts. But Mr Nevzlin tweeted that his theory was ‘confirmed’ – pointing out the veteran politician ‘had no health problems, led an active lifestyle and made plans’.He added: ‘It is very easy to poison a person so that everyone thinks he died of natural causes.’ He believes the ‘assassination’ was carried out to ensure Belarus keeps backing Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
