Lukashenko's health in decline: Opposition voices concern

Information about the worsening health of the Belarusian dictator frequently circulates in the media. Russian propaganda showed an unaltered picture of Alexander Lukashenko. "The dictator looks bad and it is very noticeable," commented Belarusian politician Pavel Latushko.

Pavel Latushko shared a picture of Alexander Lukashenko on social media that appeared in Russian propaganda media. "Russian propaganda showed real photo of Lukashenko. It`s not a coincidence," writes the Belarusian politician, comparing this picture with the image of the dictator that appeared in Belarusian propaganda media.

"The dictator looks bad and it is very noticeable," evaluated Latushko. He added that according to sources from the Belarusian opposition, the dictator suffers from diabetes.

"Will the democratic world be ready to support the Belrausians on this decisive day?" asked Latushko.

Franak Viacorka, meanwhile, shared a video showing Alexander Lukashenko with Vladimir Putin. "Lukashenka looks sickly. For some time already. We rarely can see him unphotoshopped," assessed the political advisor to Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.

Information about the poor health of the Belarusian dictator appears in the media from time to time. The latest instance appeared at the beginning of July, just after the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan.

Then, the independent Russian television channel Dozhd, recognized by Russian authorities as a "foreign agent," reported that two hours after arriving in Astana, Lukashenko "is very seriously ill and is having a very hard time coping with his illness."

-The next day, on Thursday, he spoke at the summit, met with the heads of state, but it was clear that he looked worse than two days ago, and the day before, when he had been receiving a parade in Minsk wearing a military uniform. 'His face was pale, shiny, he was struggling to speak,' stated the program's author Mikhail Fishman.

Meanwhile, during the annual concert held at the place where Alexander Lukashenko grew up, the President of Belarus openly admitted that he is tired and going through "difficult days."
