Alyaksandr Lukashenka, who considers himself president of Belarus, said that no one talks about other victims, except for the Belarusian Roman Bondarenko, because he is not interesting.
Alexander Lukashenko, who considers himself president of Belarus, was instructed to “take control” of the investigation into the circumstances of the death of 31-year-old Belarusian Roman Bondarenko, who died on 12 November. Lukashenka said this on November 13 in an interview with political observers in Belarus and abroad, BelTA reports.
Lukashenka expressed his condolences to the relatives of the deceased. He supported the version of the country’s security officials that Bondarenko was allegedly drunk and suffered as a result of a fight between those who hung the white-red-white ribbons and those who took them off.
“And I told you they wanted to make a sacred sacrifice [оппозиционерку Светлану] Tikhanovskaya … I managed to escape from this. And they constantly tried to find something somewhere. So they rushed over to this guy. I say it again: sincere condolences to family and friends. I lost a boy. A difficult case, of course. That he is single, although this is the life of the people, you cannot say it. But I must give you an example as proof. Especially I took statistics of the victims in one day: two people died in an accident, murder – one person and serious deaths – one person. Tell me: two plus one plus one, in addition to this death, aren’t they dead? The dead. Well, why isn’t anyone talking about them today? Don’t do it, it’s not interesting. Five people died in one day. They chose a person and started expressing milk, ”Lukashenka said.
On Chervyakova Street in Minsk, late on the night of November 11, unknown people wearing masks clashed with local residents. The conflict took place over white, red and white ribbons. Thereafter Bondarenko was taken to the intensive care unit in a coma. On November 12, the man died. Thousands of Belarusians flocked to the “Plaza de los Cambios” to honor the memory of those killed. On November 13, the unofficial duel was announced in Belarus.
The Belarus Investigation Committee said the deceased activist was drunk. In a comment to TUT.BY, doctors said Roman’s body had zero ppm of alcohol.
The European Union has threatened the Belarusian authorities with new sanctions for the death of Bondarenko.
Ukraine also condemned the Belarusian authorities in connection with the death of Bondarenko.
Since August 9, in Belarus, the massive protests of those who do not agree with the results of the presidential elections have not stopped. According to official data, they were won by Alexander Lukashenko, with 80.1% of the electorate voting for him (he has led the country since 1994). Tikhanovskaya ranked second with 10.1% of the vote. At the same time, alternative exit polls showed the opposite picture: Tikhanovskaya’s confident victory.
The Belarusian security forces violently dispersed the demonstrations using explosions, rubber bullets and water cannons. During the protests, hundreds of protesters were injured and wounded. According to official figures, four protesters died.
Lukashenka assumed the presidency on September 23. For the first time in the history of Belarus, the opening ceremony was not announced or broadcast on television. Several states, including the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Denmark, Ukraine and the Czech Republic, did not recognize Lukashenko’s inauguration.
