Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Sunday he had undergone a full medical exam for the first time in his life and was found to be in good health.
“Recently, for the first time in my life, I underwent a complete physical over two days,” the 70-year-old leader told journalists on Belarusian television, in remarks later posted on his Pul Pervogo Telegram channel.
“Goodness knows what they didn’t do to me. They even got into my brain. They x-rayed every bit of me … Touch wood, I am happy. Everything is normal.”
Speculation about Lukashenko’s health has persisted for years, fuelled by his occasional absences from public events. Rumours have circulated since 2023, when he appeared frail during a Moscow visit, but his latest remarks sought to dismiss those concerns.
Lukashenko said intelligence services from nations friendly to Belarus had even inquired about his condition.
“I am saying that I am ok with that,” he said. “Hand over the test results, those examinations and let them be published.”
