Russian Foreign Ministry comments on plan to assassinate Lukashenko

It is hard to imagine that actions like the conspiracy against the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko were organized without the knowledge of the US special services, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

“The investigation is being conducted by the Russian FSB, so it is not in our competence to talk about the details, much less to anticipate this investigation, to draw conclusions about the involvement of the US authorities in the planned act of state terrorism – this will be the subject of the investigation, of course. Although, of course, it is difficult to imagine that actions of this scale were organized without the knowledge of the American special services. Moreover, we know how the defendants in this case were consulted in Western capitals”, – Zakharova said.
