There are rumours Alexander Lukashenko may have been poisoned during a parade he attended with crony Vladimir Putin and his heightened security team.
The President of Belarus, 68, who's gripped on to power for almost a quarter of a century, was seen looking gravely ill as his pal Putin gave a speech to commemorate Victory Day, Russia's largest secular holiday to remember the country's efforts during WWII.
Belarusian political analyst Dmitry Bolkunets said that it is possible that the strongman was poisoned, but that in "recent days the autocrat has appeared sick several times", a Kyiv Post journalist wrote on Twitter.
