Putin doesn't send birthday greetings to Belarusian dictator

Instead, his aide demanded to release Baumgertner immediately.

Birthday greetings to Aliaksandr Lukashenka from Vladimir Putin have not been posted on the website of the Russian president.

A year ago, greetings to the Belarusian dictator, who marks his birthday on August 30, were already published at the website at 13:00.

Only Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych congratulated Lukashenka this morning.

As charter97.org learnt from the Russian president's press service, all information about Putin's activities today appeared on his website. “If it is not on the website, he didn't do it,” the press service said.

The site of the Russian president informs only about Vladimir Putin's meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, a visit to the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and a meeting with Khabarovsk residents.

We remind that Uralkali CEO Vladislav Baumgertner was arrested in Minsk five days ago. Yury Ushakov, an aide to the Russian president, has demanded today to release him immediately.
