Experiments on social media by the press service of Belarus’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs have gone so far that their messages are now impossible to understand. All of this is paid for from the state budget at the expense of taxpayers.
The unofficial Telegram channel of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry, which Belarusian diplomats used for rude statements in the style of Russia’s Foreign Ministry, has completely lost touch with reality and published a message that looks like outright nonsense.
The channel was created by the former Foreign Ministry spokesperson Anatoly Glaz and was called “The Voice of the MFA.” It gave the impression that Belarusian diplomats felt uncomfortable being as openly rude as Maria Zakharova from Russia’s Foreign Ministry. Therefore, messages with a certain informational load and news hooks, written in a characteristic manner, were distributed through social media.
In early April 2025, Glaz was replaced by Ruslan Varankou. He stopped holding back and began speaking “forcefully” in the official communications of the Foreign Ministry. At the same time, changes also took place in the unofficial Telegram channel: it was renamed “The Oracle of the MFA,” and its posts increasingly began to resemble delirium and carry no informational value.
Today, the channel published the following:
“The Oracle paused in contemplation.
Do you feel it? A light tension hangs in the air, as if before an important announcement.
Our sources in the corridors of the MFA have fallen silent. Silence is the loudest of news.
The Oracle predicts: everything will remain the same, but become clearer. There will be no need to decode whispers.
We wait. And listen to the silence. It can be more eloquent than words.”
It is worth recalling that all of this is happening and being paid for from the state budget, at the expense of Belarusian taxpayers.
