During the protest in Minsk near the Palace of Independence, Alexander Lukashenko was indeed inside the residence. This is evidenced by the video distributed by the “Pool of the First” telegram channel.
Lukashenko gets out of the helicopter wearing a bulletproof vest and holding a machine gun. However, as noted by the Belarusian publications, a magazine with cartridges is not attached to the weapon.
Earlier, the arrival of Lukashenko's helicopter was filmed by protesters who approached the presidential residence. However, it was assumed that the evacuation of the dictator was planned.
As of 19:30, few protesters remain near the Palace of Independence, and security forces and equipment continue to arrive.
