Lukashenka Further Fuels Rumours About His Illness

There is a photo of the helicopter, but there is not a single one of the "inspector".

Almost three weeks after the devastating storm, the ruler eventually visited Mazyr district. At that time "Salidarnasts" made an assumption that such a pause was made because of possible health problems.

During that trip Lukashenka stressed that he "wasn't going to die," but admitted about problems with his leg:

"Well, I am limping sometimes, my leg hurts. They can't repair my joint. Well, I think it's not so dreadful for the President: where you can't walk, you can drive there.

However, apparently, someone decided that Mazyr alone would not be enough to demonstrate his ability to work. According to Lukashenka's press service, he inspected Homel and Minsk regions on August 4.

Admittedly, he did it without getting out of the helicopter. It is curious that this time the ruler himself was not caught on camera - the official media published only a video and photo of the helicopter flight, but the traditional photo of the "inspector" looking out of the window has not yet appeared.

The quality of the inspection itself is also questionable. According to the press service, on Sunday Lukashenka "studied the situation from the height, when everything spread before the eyes. Among other things, he "assessed the progress of the harvesting campaign, the state of reclaimed land and the work of the Slaukali enterprise.

How can all this be done from the cabin of a helicopter and what is it but a show-off? This is a rhetorical question, which is already decades old.
