The American side protects Lukashenko’s hope, in exchange for weakening penalties, “released many political prisoners.”
Deputy Assistant to State Secretary of State Christopher Smith and two other diplomats visited Belarus, where they met the self -Proclaimed leader of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, as well as KGB leader of Belarus. After negotiations with Lukashenko, border diplomats with Lithuania took prisoners – an American and two Belarus political prisoners. This is probably made in exchange for a promise to weaken certain penalties in the Republic’s economy, says the New York Times.
The media record that on February 12, diplomats crossed the car border. This is Lukashenko’s first meeting with Senior US representatives for the past five years.
The unnamed visit passed the day after US president Donald Trump held a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Both events indicate Washington’s removal from the policy of separating the leaders who are in shame of the West due to repression policy and the war in Ukraine, the publication added.
After that, in Vilnius, Smith noted that the next step could end a major agreement, according to which Lukashenko will release many political prisoners. In return, the United States will weaken sanctions against Belarusian banks and potassium export, a major component in fertilizers, the main manufacturer of which is Belarus.
Later, the head of the headquarters of the head of the opposition in Eccla, Svetlana Tikhanak Franan Vyachorka, who commented on this statement, argued that Smith was not the true leader of the American delegation. According to him, a senior official also participated in it.
Earlier, on February 3, the Belarus Ministry of Defense announced the beginning of the inspection of the readiness of the armed forces’ battle.
