    What channel was the audio recording? We need to get deepfake specialists on this right away, the audio only is suspicious, and Russia has every reason to try and stop popular support

      Yeah imo it definitely sounds a bit sus as well. It sounds weirdly clean compared to his other communication, has no video (unlike most other communication that I’ve seen), and although I don’t speak Russian the pauses in his speech and the way he’s speaking in the recording in general feel off. It could totally be real, but it does feel very convenient that he just stops like this with help from Lukashenko of all people. We’ll see soon enough though.
