On April 17, it became known that officers of the FSB of Russia, together with colleagues from the KGB of Belarus, detained two people in Moscow who were preparing a coup d'etat in the republic and the physical elimination of the Belarusian leader.

“The investigation is being conducted by the Russian FSB, so it is not in our competence to talk about the details, much less to anticipate this investigation, to draw conclusions about the involvement of the US authorities in the planned act of state terrorism - this will be the subject of the investigation, of course.

Although, of course, it is difficult to imagine that actions of this scale were organized without the knowledge of the American special services.

Moreover, we know how the defendants in this case were consulted in Western capitals, ”Zakharova said.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his message to the Federal Assembly, commented on reports of a coup attempt in Belarus.
