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.'
Aleksy Dzikawicki, vice-director of Belsat TV channel, said: 'Few people know, but soon Makei was supposed to be at the OSCE meeting in Lodz - in early December.

Nah, russia killed him several days before he was scheduled to meet Polish officials at the OSCE. It’s right there in the article.
Anyway, hope he had the common courtesy to close the window behind himself after he jumped.
And how is your narrative coming along? You certainly put a lot of effort in trying to keep it from crumbling.
UK Daily Mail has no credibility. Find a real source for your news.
Are you saying Makei is not dead?
Russian colds have been known to be deadly.
“...trying to keep it from crumbling.”
It crumbled on its own when posted up and it was revealed who printed the story.
It’s essentially 2023, autopsy when?
Could be both!
Maybe he was forced to get his next 100 boosters in one go!

MI6-CIA IMO
Just like the pipeline was CIA-MI6.
Comrade cranked, I was referring to your own propaganda narrative. After nine months of repeating “Ukraine has already lost the war, just wait for the next massive Russian offensive” it has no credibility left.
The Garrison ‘toon describes some of these FReepers to a ‘T.’
He was scheduled to meet the Polish official the day after meeting Lavrov.
It’s essentially what Hitler would have done to Hess in 1941, or to Himmler during the last month of the war, if he had had the chance.
“Suspicions”?
Ya think?
“Sudden death of foreign minister of Belarus raises suspicions of foul play”
Sounds like we were trying to bribe him...too bad, we forgot to do the same for those around him.
Either way, the message was transmitted, no long-winded meetings needed...
Putin will murder anybody. His government is the KGB gone wild.
Putin is first on any suspect list, and deservedly so.
It doesn’t make sense to me, but it really doesn’t matter.
So touching that Putin has so many admirers here.
