The Minister of Energy of Russia claimed that Russian budget loss caused by Belarus’ shadow export of Russian oil under the guise of duty-free solvents totals $1.5–2.5bln. Website Charter’97 accompanied this statement by Minister Alexander Alesin with the picture that shows Lukashenka with Putin and Medvedev.
However, another Belarusian news portal Udf.by uploaded a more correct version of the picture.
Original photo was made by ITAR-TASS at the meeting of the heads of the Union State at residence Gorki near Moscow.
Belarusian state-owned mass media retouch photos of Lukashenka to improve his look. However, Charter’97 use it to achieve opposite aims.
