Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei died suddenly at the age of 65. Makei had scheduled a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on Monday 28 November. “We are shocked” is the reaction, on her Telegram channel, of the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. However, a rather disturbing reading of the death comes from Ukraine. “There are rumors that he may have been poisoned. Makei was considered a possible successor to Lukashenko – Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry writes on Twitter – he was one of the few who was not under Russian influence. Rumors say this could be a warning to Lukashenko.”
