Vladimir Makei 'passed away suddenly', Belarusian state media reported today They gave no cause for Makei's death or any explanation of the circumstances
Makei, 64, was due to meet Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov tomorrow He was then set to travel to Poland to meet a host of Western diplomats Some opposition figures in Russia and Belarus have posited the Belarusian security service could well have been involved in Makei's death
Belarus's long-standing foreign minister has died suddenly, the state news agency Belta reported on Saturday, just days before he was due in Poland to meet key Western officials.
'Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei has passed away suddenly,' Belta reported today without giving further detail.
Makei, 64, had held his post since 2012 and wasn't known to suffer from any chronic illness.
He was seen in seemingly good health at a meeting of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) in Yerevan just days ago.
His shock death came just one day prior to a scheduled meeting with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, amid Russian suspicions over his back channel liaising with Western interlocutors, it is believed.
On Tuesday, Makei was set to travel to the Polish city of Lodz, where he was invited to attend a Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) council meeting with Western officials.
His invitation came as a surprise given Belarus' complicity in Russia's invasion of Ukraine - Lavrov was not invited.
Russian opposition politician and human rights activist, Lev Shlosberg, said: 'It is very difficult, almost impossible, to believe in the natural nature of the causes of the death of Vladimir Makei.'

He’s a Putin fan. A person with a mentality like his is easily ignored and shunned.
If there was a needle involved, I don’t think it contained the vaccine.
‘So touching that Putin has so many admirers here.’
Spare me.
Far more pro-Ukrainian ZelenskyyIdiot backers, supporters, etc. within FR than there are those of us fighting propaganda and allegedly being ‘pro-Putin’.
Here is what you are seeing though: Ukraine and ZelenskyyIdiot fatigue. Many are just getting fed up with sending tens of billions upon tens of billions to a BLACKHOLE that is run by an IDIOT who is incessantly grifting, begging, and pleading for more money, tanks, planes, artillery, jets, APVs, munitions, etc., etc., etc.
Just as Biden sends SWAT teams to arrest preachers for praying at abortion clinics “because he can”, Putin does away with critics, “because he can”. Biden would too, if he knew he would get away with it. Considering what happened with Seth Rich, maybe Biden could, too.
‘ZELENSKYY BE LIKE…’

Or maybe they vaxxinated him.
“Well Vladimir, you can always go....... permanently!”
