GIFT OF LIFE OR KISS OF DEATH?
October 7, 2022 -Durt Fibo

Belarus President-for-Life Alexander “Idi” Lukashenko escaped captivity and appeared in St. Petersburg seemingly without a gift for Vladimir Putin’s birthday today. But this was as uncertain as the two Presidents’ relationship. As reported by Belta (the Belarusian state news agency), when questioned by journalists in Russia, Lukashenko claimed that he had indeed gifted Putin the most symbolic present that could trigger a heart attack: a tractor.

The reason no tractor was visible was because Lukashenko perhaps thought the insult would be even more hilarious if it was merely a promise which could be withdrawn, so he had the Telegram channel Pul Pervogo publish a picture of a certificate that would sanction the birthday present (actual image here).
