Alyaksandr Lukashenka<\/b><\/strong> attended a hockey game yesterday accompanied by young attractive women. His press service decided to emphasize this detail.<\/p>\n

A short video showing how Alyaksandr Lukashenka was greeted at yesterday\u2019s match between Minsk\u2019s Dynamo and Ak Bars appeared on the \u201cPool of the First\u201d Telegram channel run by Lukashenka\u2019s press service. It was the opening game of the second round of the Gagarin Cup. The Belarusian ruler once again appeared in public accompanied by women from the protocol service. Also seated nearby were Spitz dog Umka<\/b><\/strong> and senator Dzmitry Baskau<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To Lukashenka\u2019s right, Spitz dog Umka was lying on a seat, followed by personal physician Sviatlana Kanashenka<\/b><\/strong> and press secretary Natallia Eismant<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To his left were new companion Valeryia Marozava<\/b><\/strong>, a model and former doctor at Borisov Polyclinic No. 2, and former hockey coach, now businessman and senator Dzmitry Baskau.<\/p>\n

Seated in the row in front of the ruler were Miss Belarus 2021 contestants Nastsia Kazyrytskaya<\/b><\/strong> and Uladlena Zaitseva<\/b><\/strong>, as well as another woman whose name we were unable to identify quickly. Further along sat head of the National School of Beauty Center Bazhena Yaremich<\/b><\/strong> and Miss Belarus 2016 contestant Alina Roskach<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In recent months, Alyaksandr Lukashenka has noticeably lost weight. This may be the result of the weight-loss drug Zepbound, which US presidential special envoy John Coale<\/b><\/strong> had promised to bring to Minsk. Against this backdrop, Lukashenka\u2019s entourage has once again started portraying the 71-year-old Belarusian ruler as a macho figure and a favorite among women.<\/p>\n
