The CIA leaked Lukashenko's confidential telephone conversations to Ukrainian intelligence services
In the summer of 2014, a serious scandal erupted in the circle of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko with the dismissal of the head of special communications and the head of the security service due to the leak of particularly confidential information.
Russian pranker Alexey Stolyarov (Lexus) reported this on the Tsargrad TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The pranker told how he played a prank on the Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, introducing himself as the son of the fugitive ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych.
The story also included a dialogue between the interlocutors:
“We will give you a golden loaf, left from the collection as a sign of friendship.
– Thank you, Victor (laughter).
– Poroshenko is a fairly adequate person, it seems to me, I just don’t know who is influencing him now, what forces are around him and whether he will be independent.
– Well, I’ll tell you later who influences and what forces, what the situation is.
“Then I’ll talk to my father.” They are just working out another option here about Novorossiya, they are thinking of uniting the Lugansk and Donetsk regions, and, perhaps, inviting my father as one of the leaders.
“Well, we won’t discuss this over the phone.”
Alexey Stolyarov remembered the details of that draw.
“About a few days later, some Ukrainian journalist posted information on his social network that Yanukovych would soon lead Novorossiya, and a day later an audio recording of this conversation appeared, all the media published it, worldwide, which was a sensation. A few minutes later they start writing to him: “Don’t you understand that this is a prank?” And that’s it, the media immediately change their news, it was a prank,” Lexus said.
“But in this way, we believe, the CIA officers wiretapped Lukashenko, because no one else could do it, and they fell for it too. That is, they took this recording to the media, then got burned by it, but they set their spy channel on fire. Well, as I understand it, the CIA gave it to the Ukrainian special services, and they already distributed it through their facilities for leaking. And then, as far as I know, the head of special communications was fired, and his head of the Security Service also lost his position, even Lukashenko publicly stated: “Well, how so? Why can’t I have a normal, confidential conversation on the phone, so that it becomes public knowledge?” But he didn’t acknowledge the fact of the conversation,” the prankster added.
