FSB poisons Belarusian Foreign Minister; frightened Lukashenko strengthens his security

Leonid Nevzlin, Russian opposition public figure and political emigrant, made the claims on Twitter, November 27.

"The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus, Vladimir Makei, died as a result of poisoning with a poison developed in a special laboratory of the FSB, say sources close to the Russian special services. A clinical picture in such cases corresponds to death from a heart attack, stroke or heart failure," he said.

It should be noted that according to the Minsk news outlet Nasha Niva, "Makei was at home in Drozdy (an elite district of the Belarusian capital - ed.) when he suffered a heart attack."

"He, reportedly, did not seek medical help in time, as he did not take his condition seriously," the outlet reports.

Nevzlin also mentions Makei’s refusal of urgent hospitalization.

In his opinion, this provides additional confirmation of the poisoning version.

"The version of Makei's poisoning is confirmed by the fact that the 64-year-old official had no health problems, led an active lifestyle and was making plans. When he suddenly had a heart attack, he did not go to hospital, because he had never experienced such problems before and did not pay proper attention to pain," Leonid Nevzlin's message reads.

"It is very easy to poison a person so that everyone thinks that they have died of natural causes. It is quite simple to disrupt the balance of enzymes - substances that ensure all processes without exception, from blinking to breathing,” Nevzlin quotes Russian toxicologists.

According to him, "the death of Makei, essentially the second person in the state, caused panic in Belarusian nomenclature circles, but the dictator Lukashenka was most affected."

"He ordered to replace his cooks, staff and security. Lukashenko's children have been given additional security," Nevzlin emphasizes.

"The dictator trusts no one. He has reasons to believe that he is next in line for a lavish funeral, following Makei. Moscow is not satisfied with the delay of the Belarusian army entering the war against Ukraine, the Kremlin is ready to use all levers to pressure the Belarusian regime," Nevzlin concludes.
