Germany asks Lukashenko to apologize to Moscow
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko still must apologize to Russia for the situation with detained and then released Russians who were called mercenaries, and also explain what the story was.
Political scientist Alexander Sosnovsky, who lives in Germany, said this on air on the Internet channel “Soloviev Live”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
According to the expert, if the detention of a group of 32 Russians was a mistake, then the Belarusian authorities should directly state this.
“If there was some kind of investigation going on, it would be more understandable. Thank God that the guys were released, but since they were released and this happened, they were first arrested on some kind of Ukrainian tip, and then, after everything changed, they slipped in some new ones. 33 guys were arrested, who ended up in an unknown place, for an unknown reason.
Either “Wagner”, or some “Mar”, or someone else, then, as far as we know, a number of guys were beaten, maybe some kind of torture was used on them. This is some kind of black spot that can be removed. An apology has never humiliated anyone; mistakes can be very diverse, including terrible ones. “I believe that if it was a mistake, and we proceed from the fact that it was a mistake, then, of course, I would like to hear some kind of apology or some plausible explanation for what happened,” Sosnovsky said .
Earlier, 32 Russians who were unlawfully detained by Belarusian security forces at the end of July returned to Russia.
Let us remind you that 32 employees of a private security company, who were late for the plane, were detained in a sanatorium near Minsk. The Belarusian authorities called all of them members of the private military company Wagner and accused them of intending to destabilize the situation. Later it turned out that all this was a planned provocation by the SBU.
