Lukashenko pissed off even the quietest Russian ambassador
Russian Ambassador to Belarus Dmitry Mezentsev, who a year after his appointment to Minsk did not react to President Lukashenko’s offensive passages addressed to Russia, made business cards for himself in the Belarusian language Move and pointedly said Belarus instead of Belarus, spoke rather sharply about the incident with the unjustified detention of 33 Russians.
His statement was made on the air of the program “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We want the arguments that we present to not vary, so that the people who provide these arguments are not initially considered people who are telling lies,” the diplomat emphasized.
He made it clear that the dialogue should not be conducted at the highest level, as Lukashenko is actively hinting at, but through law enforcement agencies “in support of those numerous agreements that have proven their success.”
“If mistakes are made and some overlaps are made, learn to admit them. In this case, we ask the Belarusian side about this,” the ambassador emphasized.
According to him, information was requested through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “which was the basis for such an ‘unusual’, tendentious, politicized and unfair interpretation of the reasons for the presence of Russians on the soil of the Republic of Belarus.”
“We don’t really understand how suspicions can be interpreted today in such a way that this is a formal basis for detention,” Mezentsev said.
Coming from the lips of the super-loyal Russian ambassador, who replaced the inconvenient Mikhail Babich at Lukashenko’s request, all of the above sounds like an angry philippic.
