    Lukashenko says $10 mln allocated for his assassination
    The BelTA news agency reported that armed people were to attack his residence in the countryside

    MINSK, April 24. /TASS/. Organizers of the assassination plot against Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko allocated $10 mln to achieve the goal, Lukashenko told reporters on Saturday.

    The BelTA news agency reported citing Lukashenko that armed people were to attack his residence in the countryside, that $10 mln were allocated for this purpose and $1 mln for the sniper.

    "We have long seen that. Do you think we carried out this operation in Moscow out of the blue? We were keeping a close eye on them. They were expected to come to Minsk and conduct this operation," Lukashenko said.

    In Lukashenko’s words, the conspirators had drawn up a few scenarios. First, they plotted to assassinate the president at the May 9 parade, Next, they considered an attack on the presidential motorcade, so they even bought grenade launchers and brought them to Belarus. Lukashenko continued that under the third scenario, armed people were tasked to attack the presidential residence in the countryside.

    Lukashenko added that among the conspirators was a security officer who acted as a general who had sold out.

    "He was our agent. Well done. Thanks to the guy, since he helped us massively and was not scared. They wanted him to call for the army uprising," Lukashenko said.

    Apart from that, the coup plotters planned to use the army to blockade Minsk, as well as the forces of the riot police, internal troops, the Interior Ministry and State Security Service (KGB), Lukashenko added.

    The Belarusian president explained if they had clashed the law enforcement forces, it would have been "the most terrible and hottest civil war which none of the countries has ever experienced." Lukashenko went on to say that the conspirators planned to black out Minsk. He emphasized that new details of the case would be published in the near future.

    Organizers of the coup in Belarus planned to use the army to blockade Minsk and black it out, Alexander Lukashenko said. "The insurgents planned to use the army to blockade Minsk, along with the forces of OMON [riot police], internal troops, the Interior Ministry and KGB," BelTA news agency said quoting Lukashenko.

    The Belarusian president explained that all of them are armed, and if they could have clashed, it would have been "the most terrible and hottest civil war which none of the countries has ever experienced."

    According to Lukashenko, "apart from that, the conspirators were planning to black out Minsk."

    Lukashenko informed about a cyberattack plotted against the country, adding that it could be carried out "only at the state level," since a handful of hackers would not be able to cope with the task. According to the president, new details of the case will be published soon.

    Failed plans of the opposition
    According to Lukashenko, during his visit last October to the detention center, where blogger Sergei Tikhanovsky, husband of ex-presidential candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, is kept, he read out a document that outlined a plan of the opposition which sought power. In particular, the plan was to put the president’s youngest son, Nikolai, in jail, although he is underage.

    "They (the opposition - TASS) betrayed us a long time ago, and they were supposed to allegedly come to power here for 24 hours and declare that we are in power. What for? To ask NATO to send troops in to Belarus and to deploy them on the eastern border near Smolensk. It was a springboard - I have always told you - to attack Russia. It was the first step. Even though they would deny it, today we see that it is true," said Lukashenko.

    Belarus held presidential elections on August 9, 2020. According to the Central Election Commission’s official results, incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko won by a landslide. His closest rival in the race, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, came in second, but refused to accept the result of the election and fled Belarus. After the results were announced, mass protests erupted in downtown Minsk and other Belarusian cities. During the early post-election period, the rallies snowballed into fierce clashes between the protesters and police. Sporadic local protests continue to date.

    Coup plot
    On March 18, Ivan Tertel, the Belarusian KGB chief, reported that a coup attempt by a terrorism-related organized group, which plotted the killing of President Alexander Lukashenko and his family and an armed uprising to seize power, had been thwarted.

    According to the investigators, the plot was conspired by dual Belarusian-American citizen Yuri Zenkovich, who has lived in the United States since 2007. He was detained in Moscow along with Belarusian nationals Alexander Feduta, a political analyst, and Grigory Kostusev, a leader of the Belarusian People’s Front opposition party. According to Belarusian investigators, the coup plot was financed from abroad and the conspirators maintained close contacts with terrorist organizations. Overall, no less than three scenarios to seize power in the republic were planned. Later, the KGB said that four individuals were charged with conspiracy to seize power.

    These conspirators were dumber than the insurrectionists who almost toppled the American government a few month back.

    The Americans probably related to the Russians what these clowns were up to.

    The fact that one of the conspirators has been living in the States is really quite incidental.

    Nothing happening here folks, please move along.
    A true diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a manner that you will be asking for directions.

    ^Actually, they have a video of those people, quite a different approach and evidence than the Czech plot that - as of the PM's words have "a reasonable suspicion" after 7 years (in Salisbury it was a bit better, "highly likely").

    Nevertheless a bunch of diplomats was kicked out - other EU members asked to follow the suit, what only the Balt republics followed in a small scale.

    In fact, the Czechs made the announcement within one hour after the Lukashenko news. According to some it was emergency to announce it so fast after the Luka case. That's why it hasn't been properly prepared, no clear evidence and many confusing stories, as it was meant obviously for some a later time with a better story.

    Today the incumbent Czech president - who let himself a week time for more info - declared that he is asking for more details. And why the Czech NSA never mentioned in last 6 years reports anything like this, despite so many investigations, knowing that the explosion was a mess with many covering, connection to a Bulgarian tenant of the Czech govt weaponry warehouse, the Bulgarian known to sell weapons to Ukraine and Syria (not to Assad).

    Well one things for sure. If you want to get to the nitty gritty of this, it certainly won't be in the NYT or Guardian.

    That's not what he meant. He meant the coup govt would solidify their power by calling in NATO. Russian troops would support the anti coup military bloc which would mean a clash between Russia and Nato ie NATO attacking Russia through Belarus

    9 percent. An external poll says

    What Belarusians Think About Their Country’s Crisis | Chatham House – International Affairs Think Tank


    However, far fewer Belarusians unequivocally support a pro-European stance – only nine percent favour EU accession
    ^* We surveyed a total of 899 respondents between 22 and 28 September 2020.

    * Hundreds of thousands of Belarusians live in European countries.

    * Belarus: Lukashenko seeks to empower son Viktor on succession.

    Think you can figure it out? I doubt it very much.

    The fact remains that the people of Belarus and the rest of the world want nothing to do with Russia....like anybody with a bit of common sense.

    Putin spends more money trying to divide Europe then helping his drunken fucked up citizens.

    Technically you are right. But why not make written English a thing of beauty, given the choice. Writing has to have a rythm, it has to sing.

    You certainly have a plebeians touch Snubs.

    Russia is the largest and most important partner for Belarus both in the political and economic fields. The Treaty on Equal Rights of Citizens between Belarus and Russia was signed in December 1998, covering employment, and access to medical care and education. The two countries constitute the supranational Union State.

    I'm sure Lukashenko must be a nice guy just look at how long he has been in power. That proves it. Look at all those benevolent leaders and so well loved champions of human rights who stayed in power for long periods. Stalin, Gaddaffi, Hussein the Saudis, Assad, Putin, Xi, Mao, the little fat guy, who was the son of the other little fat guy. I could go on.
    I'm always bemused when you see a country with the title of peoples democratic republic which immediately tells you it is anything but.
