Analyst's version.

Analyst Sergei Chaly expressed his opinion on why the special representative of the US President John Cole did not come this time.

- Lukashenko asked Franklin Graham to pray for him. It looked so pathetic," Chaly said in the Belsat program. - Interestingly, at that moment, two translators were sitting with Graham: his own and Lukashenko's translator, as well as Greta van Sosteren - John Cole's wife. But Cole himself was not. I guess why.

He didn't want to come for nothing when Lukashenko decided not to release any of the political prisoners. Why come back empty-handed?

It should be noted that it was expected that John Cole would come to Belarus along with Protestant pastor from the USA Graham.
