Presidential elections in Belarus: will there really be protests against Lukashenko? Dzvenislava Moshovskaya

Elections in Belarus/Collage 24 Channel

It has become known that presidential elections will be held in Belarus on January 26, 2025. Self-proclaimed dictator Alexander Lukashenko will participate in this “action”.

Political scientist Igor Reiterovich told 24 Channel about this, noting that the “event” planned in Belarus will hardly be called a presidential election. Lukashenko will continue to stay in power, because there is no one left in the country to protest.

Are protests possible in Belarus

According to Igor Reiterovich, Belarusians will not dare to protest against Alexander Lukashenko.

There (in Belarus – Channel 24) is not even a minimal media personality who could challenge him. This is not a story about elections, but about extending Lukashenko's term in power, the political scientist said.

He stressed that the Belarusian dictator will continue to be the self-proclaimed president. Of course, in the civilized world, no leader will recognize this. However, this is an expected course of events, because Lukashenko has nowhere to go, so he will cling to his power by any means.

However, the State Final Attestation will not appear in 2025 for all students. A gradual launch of assessment is planned. Piloting of one subject is planned for next year.

In 2026, some educational institutions will be able to join the piloting of the State Final Attestation-9. This will be done on a voluntary basis. The results of the piloting will be used to further improve new approaches to assessment. By 2027, it is planned to introduce assessment for all ninth-graders.

The UCEQA notes that developing a model of the State Final Attestation for 9th-graders is somewhat more complicated than for 4th-graders. This is due to the fact that the GIA-9 should cover a larger number of educational sectors and ensure an objective assessment of students' knowledge regardless of the educational program they studied.

Most likely, the GIA for grades 9 will be conducted in electronic format. But so far there are problems with organizing this type of certification related to the technical support of schools and maintaining academic integrity during testing.

Will Have Negative Consequences: How China Is Stepping Up Its Participation in the War Natalia Belzetskaya

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Russia for the BRICS summit. On October 22, he also held talks with Vladimir Putin, which likely concerned the war in Ukraine and deepening cooperation between Russia and China.

President of the public organization “Liberal Democratic League of Ukraine” Artur Kharitonov told Channel 24 that some leaders, in particular Saudi Arabia, did not arrive for BRICS. Despite this, the summit is going well for autocratic countries.

What could Xi and Putin talk about

The leaders of the countries that have arrived in Russia have their own goals. They will discuss an alternative financial system, the creation of a model by which autocracies can exist in a parallel anti-sanction space and conduct active life, in particular wars.

It is worth understanding that what China is developing, and with it Russia, will have negative consequences for all of us, for all democracies, in the medium term. Therefore, in no case should this threat be underestimated, – emphasized Artur Kharitonov.

As for the negotiations between Xi and Putin, we do not know about their final agreements. The conversation between the two dictators took place behind closed doors. However, their delegations are always verbose.

It has already become a tradition that when Putin appears in the PRC, the entire government goes with him, all the heads of state top enterprises, especially energy ones. Now Xi has arrived with all the financial, economic ministers, high-ranking officials in the field of national security.

Undoubtedly, we will be talking about a deeper integration of Russia into the Chinese economic, financial and military space. We see how they are combining their military-industrial complex systems and all this will happen in the future, – noted Artur Kharitonov.

Of course, this will have negative consequences. We are already seeing them in the example of Chinese kamikaze drones, which are made similar to the “Shaheds”. These drones are produced in Chinese factories and then supplied for the Russian war. They have already been used against energy facilities in Ukraine, civilian infrastructure and our positions.

“China is the same participant in the war as Iran and North Korea. It is simply impossible to look for any other meaning for the PRC,” concluded Artur Kharitonov.

Two Russian agents of the Russian military intelligence (better known as the GRU) planned a bloody terrorist attack in Kyiv. During the special operation, they were detained by SBU and National Police officers.

According to the special service, they were supposed to prepare homemade explosives and detonate them in one of the crowded places in Kyiv, causing the maximum number of casualties among the civilian population in order to spread panic.

To commit the terrorist attack, Russian intelligence remotely recruited a 20-year-old resident of Zaporozhye, who was looking for easy money in Telegram channels.

She received instructions from the occupiers on how to make an explosive device from improvised materials components.

The attacker used two mobile phones to which a detonator with plastic explosives, which was in a camouflaged cache, had to be connected. Its geolocation was supposed to be sent to her the day before the terrorist attack.

The agent's actions were supervised by a career GRU officer who was in the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhia region.

The traitor recruited her 26-year-old cohabitant to cooperate with the enemy.

Before committing the terrorist attack, they had to complete a so-called control mission: set fire to several units of military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporizhia region.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has arrived in Kazan, Russia. The official came for the BRICS summit and plans to meet with a number of leaders, including war criminal Vladimir Putin.

However, Deputy Speaker of the UN Secretary General Farhan Gak assures that such practice is “standard”. At the same time, he notes that this trip is also “important,” Ukrinform reports.

How the UN justifies Guterres' visit to Russia

Gak stated that Guterres' trip to Russia for the BRICS leaders' meeting is “standard practice.” He stressed that the UN Secretary General's position on Russia's war against Ukraine remains unchanged.

Let me look at these two points – the part that concerns his presence (at the BRICS event – ​​Channel 24), and the part that concerns his meeting with President Putin, – emphasized the representative of Guterres.

In particular, Gak emphasized that Guterres had previously participated in the BRICS summit, although then it was held in South Africa. However, the representative of the UN Secretary General stated that “this is standard practice for participation in meetings of organizations with a large number of important member states, such as the G7 and G20.” Moreover, Gak noted that the meeting in Kazan, Russia, “is of great importance for the UN's work with the BRICS countries, which represent about half of the world's population.”

As for the meeting with Vladimir Putin, the representative of the UN Secretary-General responded with restraint and succinctly.

As for your question about the meeting with President Putin, the Secretary-General will reaffirm his well-known position regarding the war in Ukraine and the conditions for a just peace based on the UN Charter, international law and UN resolutions, Gak said.

According to the representative of Guterres, the Secretary-General will take the opportunity to hold a number of bilateral meetings with the leaders who will participate in the summit. At the same time, Gak said that the UN Secretary General is also looking forward to meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Earlier, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry criticized Guterres' trip to the BRICS summit in Russia. The department recalled that the UN Secretary General declined an invitation to the Peace Summit, which was held in Switzerland, but at the same time accepted an invitation from a war criminal to come to the aggressor country.
