The Advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs, Anton Gerashchenko, on Wednesday has shared the video of the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko. The video clip shows the interview of Lukashenko, in which Belarusian leader talked about Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Advisor Gerashchenko took it to his official social media handle to share the video of Lukashenko, adding that, “Lukashenko speaks about Prigozhin in 2020 interview with Dmytry Gordon: “He’s a toy in someone else’s hands. He doesn’t make the decisions. Yes, he organizes it, he has a business, he probably pays them, and so on – I know how it is … But it’s not him – [you need to look – ed.] a little higher.”

In the video clip, Belarusian President, Alexander Lukashenko, could be seen as saying that, “Or, for example, you say: “wagner.” We know who heads this structure. Certainly. Zhenya Prigozhin. That’s what I call him- Zhenya. You cannot imagine, we have the best relations with him. Wonderful!”
“When I used to come to them, he met me, he would find the best bottle of wine somewhere, give it to me. If I need support somewhere- he is in catering, a good restauranteur, he understood thiese things- I say, “Come to Belarus, help” and he came, helped. Of course, I am very sad that these Wagnerites are associated with him,” says Lukashenko.
While noting to it, President Lukashenko further added that, “but on the other hand, I think, he’s a toy in someone else’s hands. He doesn’t make the decisions. Yes, he organizes it, he has a business, he probably pays them, and so on- I know how it is… but its not him- a little higher: deputy ministers, some who “ran” around Belarus and it didn’t work out.”
At the same time, he said that, “And now they have to prove that they can grab Belarus and throw it to some Kremlin tower.”
