Lukashenko ‘passed out’ and ‘bleed all over’ during a visit to Moscow, a politician claims
Belarusian despot Alexander Lukashenko “passed out” and “bleed from everywhere” after a recent visit to ally Vladimir Putin, according to startling new claims.
The tyrant suddenly fell ill in Moscow last month in an incident that is alleged to have been covered up.
Now opposition politician Valery Tsepkalo says he has received lurid details about Lukashenko’s “incurable” condition from Russian doctors who had been ordered to treat him at the Kremlin hospital.
It would have been the second time in a month that the Belarusian leader fell ill while visiting Putin, leading to claims of poisoning from the Russians.
But Tsepkalo says his medical sources indicate Lukashenko, 68, has serious genetic cardiovascular disease and is expected to “relapse.”

Russian doctors were under orders from the Kremlin to save him at all costs, Tsepkalo said.
The Belarusian dictator was patched up after suddenly falling ill on May 27 and eventually smuggled home to Minsk, likely on a special train instead of his presidential plane with toilets made of gold, he told Ukrainian journalist Alesya Bazman, editor-in-chief from news outlet Gordon.
Lukashenko was in Russia last month to meet Putin and attend meetings for the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council.
“I am absolutely convinced that if the Kremlin wanted to poison him, they would have already poisoned him,” said Tsepkalo, a lawyer, former deputy secretary of state and presidential candidate.
“That’s why they did everything they could to save him.”
Lukashenko – Putin’s only international ally in Europe – was “transferred to Moscow’s Central Clinical Hospital, the so-called Kremlin Hospital,” he said.
“It turned out that doctors first tried to bring him to a normal condition. He was in acute shock, he even fainted.
“When it happened, almost all of them [leading] Moscow doctors, the best specialists, were [mobilised] during the night.

“There was a blood transfusion or his blood was somehow cleansed to prevent that [clots],’ he added.
“I know he was bleeding from everywhere. And there really is a very serious hereditary disease, a cardiovascular disease.’
“It is absolutely clear that it is incurable…. he will fall back…”
The opposition politician – forced into exile – said: ‘My information comes from the [Russian] doctors waking up at night [to treat him].’
He told how doctors were “looking for rare drugs” and that a special “council of doctors” had been convened to treat him.
The Kremlin wanted to suppress any rumors of poisoning, he said. “That’s why the doctors were literally told the following – that when he’s over, to put it politely, it’s over for us and for you, too.”
Lukashenko was stuck in Moscow for two or three days, he said. Most likely, he returned to Minsk on a special train.
Since then he has appeared pale and frail in public, for example during a meeting with Elvira Nabiullina, chairman of the Russian Central Bank.

“This disease will cause bleeding everywhere and in all organs,” said 58-year-old Tsepkalo.
‘It also manifests itself externally, on the body, and can only be suppressed with hormone therapy. But hormone therapy only helps temporarily
“The disease is progressing, there are no means to stop it,” Tsepkalo claimed. I can’t say how long it may take….
“It could happen in the nearest month or maybe weeks.
“I say again, my information comes from the doctors who were awakened in the night.”
Last month he was seen in Minsk and Moscow with what appears to be a catheter attached to his forearm.
In 2020, Lukashenko won a landslide election victory, which is believed to have been widely manipulated.
The poll is believed to have been won overwhelmingly by opposition candidate Svitlana Tikhanovskaya, who was then forced to flee into exile.
Lukashenko is known for using his ruthless KGB secret police to imprison and torture enemies of his regime.
His landlocked country is fully supported by Russia, and if Lukashenko dies, Putin will likely try to incorporate Belarus into his empire.
