Zhirinovsky slapped Lukashenko in the face
LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky appealed to President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko to stop ignoring the coronavirus.
He wrote about this in his Telegram channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Lukashenko is mocking the entire planet. Strict measures have been taken everywhere, sporting events have been cancelled, everywhere they are trying to keep people at home, but Belarus is walking in the streets, everyone is in the stadiums, and he himself is playing hockey. And already several dozen people there are infected, and then there will be several hundred, then thousands... This is impossible, Alexander Grigorievich. It turns out that the whole planet is fools, and you are the only smart one. Calm down, finally,” Zhirinovsky wrote.
Thus, the Russian politician responded to recent reports that Lukashenko took part in a republican tournament among amateur hockey teams. There, the Belarusian president spoke with tournament participants and journalists at a “socially dangerous” distance without protective equipment and said that “ice is the best cure for viruses.”
Russian blogger Ilya Varlamov decided to warn “Batka” that this was an erroneous statement.
“I often hear the misconception that the virus is afraid of the cold. Lukashenko, over there, thinks that there are no viruses on the ice of the hockey arena. Viruses are not afraid of the cold. Scientists have found that the favorable temperature for the virus is about four degrees! Just the ice arena in Minsk. Viruses feel great in the cold, but they are afraid of high temperatures. So tell your dad that it’s better to stay at home and not play hockey,” Varlamov said.
Naponmim, Zhirinovsky and Lukashenko have been holding a discussion in absentia for several weeks. The spat between two veterans of post-Soviet politics began with Zhirinovsky ridiculing Lukashenko’s advice to treat coronavirus with vodka, a bath and working on a tractor. The LDPR leader said that the Belarusian president “remained the chairman of the collective farm.”
Lukashenko, in turn, responded to this with an unfunny joke about how Zhirinovsky “drinks like a Jew both before and after the bath.”
Zhirinovsky, in response to Lukashenko’s tactlessness, invited him to simply meet and have a drink, but then called the Belarusian leader’s policy irresponsible.
