After days of speculation about the state of health of Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko, a member of the State Duma has commented on his possible illness. “It’s nothing special, no Covid. Man is just sick,” State Duma deputy Konstantin Zatulin told the Podjom internet portal on Sunday night.
Most recently, Lukashenko made a public appearance at the May 9 celebrations marking the anniversary of the Red Army’s victory over Hitler’s Germany. Even in Moscow, he looked shattered and left the party early.
‘He probably needs some rest’
Zatulin, deputy head of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) affairs committee in the Russian parliament, would not reveal what the 68-year-old was ill with. “He probably needs a little rest, that’s all,” he said.
Ex-minister in exile: Lukashenko ‘very seriously ill’
Over the weekend in the ex-Soviet Republic, Lukashenko was represented for the first time in 29 years by Prime Minister Roman Golovtschenko at the pompous State Flag Day ceremony. This fueled speculation about Lukashenko’s health.
Officially, there is still no information from Minsk about a possible illness of the head of state. Against this background, Belarusian ex-Minister of Culture Pawel Latuschko, who fled into exile, stated on Friday that Lukashenko “is clearly very seriously ill”.
