The government of Belarus was subject to a sharp critic at the TV channel “Russia”.

Here is the episode of the program “Vesti of the week” with Evgeniy Revenko (VIDEO):

The resignation of Yury Luzhkov evoked unexpected response in Minsk. Alyaksandr Lukashenka directed a letter of support to the official deprived from the post by the President of Russia for distrust. What is going on? Why, even at the background of his own pre-election campaign, Alyaksandr Lukashenka not for the first time performs frankly unfriendly actions towards Russia and its government?

Lukashenka told about his letter to Luzhkov at the meeting with Russian regional journalists. They were invited to the Republic to improve the image of the Belarusian leader, shattered after a number of investigations, including our program about the reasons of the death of a journalist Aleh Byabenin and mysterious disappearances of politicians from the opposition to Lukashenka.

The President of Belarus said frankly at the meeting that his relationship with Russian government is “bad, if not to say – worse”. But, is it worth surprising, if it became a bad tradition for Lukashenka to perform demonstratively political provocation steps? And it is an actual refusal from his promise to recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia. But Lukashenka made out a real political bargaining of it. Then - Bakiyev. Openly, for all to see, invited under his defense a man whom Kirghizia put on the wanted list, and Russia supported the new government of Bishkek. Further - more. Now for Lukashenka, de jure an ally of Russia, Saakashvili is not so bad. And Zakayev is now a leader of the unrecognized Republic of Ichkeria on Belarusian TV. And this takes place despite of the fact that Russia is seeking to extradite Zakayev charging him with war crimes. However, the context is becoming clear, if one can take into account, that Boris Berezovsky has recently become a frequent visitor in Minsk. It is he who is now the major consultant of the Belarusian leader. Results of the work of this political tandem are now seen every day. Perhaps never in history our relations were so hard.
