Change the link on "Alexandria" in the "Early life, family and education" section from "Alexandria, Egypt" to plain text "Alexandria" with no link, since it refers to Alexandria, Belarus, which does not currently have its own article. DPRKBEST (talk) 00:54, 24 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

The cited source does NOT say that he was the "deputy political officer" of the 120th at Minsk, it says only that he was "an officer" at the base at the time. Commissars were usually enlisted with the title of "political officer" not actually commissioned.
Also, the Wikipedia entry shows the 120th did not exist during Lukasehnko's conscription:
«On 1 June 1982 the division was reorganised as the 5th Guards Independent Army Corps with a 2:2 mix of tank and motor rifle brigades and regiments.»
Please fix the misleading language or cite a better source, and please cite the correct unit for the era.

In "In the first two videos, he is seen walking near a helicopter, wearing a bulletproof vest and holding an assault rifle (possibly an AK-47)" (citation 141), the rifle Lukashenko was holdint is not "possibly an AK-47". It is surely an AKS-74U. ~2026-30822-9 (talk) 10:05, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Location of grammatical error: 4th paragraph; 1st sentence. Replace "...for $500 million dollar..." with "...for a $500 million dollar..." by adding an "a" before "$500". ~2026-42089-69 (talk) 17:44, 29 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
