Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! The assassination of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of #Belarus, Vladimir #Makei, was planned, prepared and implemented on the personal initiative of the President of #Russia, Vladimir #Putin.
1/12

The secretary of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, acted as the curator of the implementation of the "project". No one really hides the fact that it was a murder from #Lukashenko.
2/12

The action was demonstrative and aimed at disrupting #Lukashenko's separate negotiations with the #Westworld and #China. Vladimir #Makei, of course, was not an independent figure. Under the conditions of Lukashenko's total dictatorship, this is not possible.
3/12

He was Lukashenko's confidant and was under his constant control and pressure. Lukashenka has recently demanded the impossible from Makei: to negotiate with the #USA and #European countries to soften their positions towards #Belarus, while promising little and doing...
4/12

absolutely nothing, but hinting that everything would change soon and #Belarus would move closer to the West and would almost take a democratic path of development; at the same time, to seek guarantees of territorial integrity and protection from #China...
5/12

and to maintain close relations with #Russia. #Makei had to achieve everything at once. We must say that the negotiations with the West were quite fruitful, and Makei managed to convince the leadership of the most influential countries...

of the possibility of changes in #Belarus. He gave guarantees on behalf of #Lukashenko that all political prisoners would be expelled to #Europe in exchange for softening positions on a number of issues.
7/12

Moreover, #Makei assured his counterparts, and not unsuccessfully, that #Lukashenko was actually held hostage by #Putin and was forced to commit "unpopular" acts under pressure from the #Russian President to preserve the sovereignty of #Belarus.
8/12

The negotiations between the #Belarus leadership and the West were quite effective. #Putin was reported about that regularly. This is why the #Russian President decided to put an end to #Lukashenko's separate negotiations, eliminating the main negotiator.
9/12

After the news of #Makei's death, #Lukashenko was told in plain text that in the future it would be necessary to act exclusively by strengthening the Union State and not negotiating behind the #Kremlin's back.
10/12

#Lukashenko was not personally threatened. There was no point. No one is going to liquidate him, at least for the time being, and no one, except #Putin, is in a hurry to provide him with guarantees of personal safety.
11/12

But there is one interesting circumstance in #Makei's death - #Putin could not receive a 100% confirmation that the liquidation operation was successful and Makei is really dead. Details of Makei's liquidation operation will soon be on our channel. Subscribe!
