Belarus's foreign minister Vladimir Makei was poisoned in a Kremlin sting operation, extraordinary new reports have claimed.
The veteran diplomat and former spy died suddenly yesterday amid claims he was in secret contact with the West concerning the war in Ukraine and preventing Belarus from being incorporated into Russia by Vladimir Putin.
A video shows Makei, 64, looking healthy on a Belarus military cargo plane last week shortly before he died. He wasn't known to suffer from any chronic illness.

Makei was this week due to attend an Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) meeting in Poland to meet key Western politicians and officials - a session from which Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov was banned.

Makei 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, Armenia, just days ago.
His shock death came one day before a scheduled meeting on Monday with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, amid Russian suspicions over his back channel liaising with Western interlocutors.
On Tuesday, Makei was set to travel to the Polish city of Lodz, where he was invited to attend an OSCE council meeting with Western officials.
His invitation came as a surprise given Belarus's complicity in Russia's invasion of Ukraine - Lavrov was not invited.

“....REPORT claims”
Wait, so we have went from ‘Unnamed sources’ to ‘unnamed Generals,’ to ‘unnamed military officials’ to ‘unnamed Government official’ to now, the infamous ‘reports claim”?
LMAOGTFO!
Yes, but it's an 'extraordinary new report'!!!
probably true
Russia had means, opportunity, and motive
M.O.M.
(Russia also has a history of doing stuff like this)
Multiple stories like the following shows why DM is known as an propaganda outlet:
Ghost of Kyiv ‘is killed’: Ukrainian fighter ace who shot down more than FORTY Russian aircraft ‘dies in battle against overwhelming enemy forces’
I am not buying it. UK tabloids have the worst records on Russian politics and the Ukraine war. It’s pure Propaganda.
Now if Lukachenko wanted him offed this is the least messy way to do it.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
I guess MI-6 gave sWill Stewart a couple of days off The Putin Tremors Watch... 
Being a friend of Putin is almost as dangerous as being a friend of the Clintons. Almost...
It might need a second look. Russian oligarchs have been flying out of windows like flights of starlings.
“Lukashenko now fears for his life, reports claim”
So Putin has Vladimir Makei killed, to make Lukashenko comply with his demands to make war in Ukraine. Using his Byelorussian army against Kiev.
Putin’s poisonous past: Why Russia always poisons its enemies
NATO spy planes were out in force today watching the Belarus-Poland-Ukraine border.
Video:
Ukrainian drone dropping a small grenade on a group of 11 Russian soldiers huddled sleeping in a (weakly) defensive dug-out pit, on the front line east of Bakhmut. What’s amazing to watch is how sluggishly - if at all - the men react.
One man starts to get on his legs, but he merely shoves his way through other groggy men a few feet further from where the grenade hit and settles back to sleep. No one tries to change their overall situation before the next grenade hits. Three of the men don’t move at all.
These men are suffering from moderate to severe hypothermia, when the body stops shivering and the mind goes into a stupor or even shuts down. They were probably laying huddled all night without proper clothing or bags. Night temperatures have been in the mid-high 30s F / 0-4 C
