Lukashenko's son has completed his studies in China
Nikolai, the youngest son of Belarus’s self-proclaimed president, Alexander Lukashenko, attended a graduation ceremony in Beijing, where he completed his studies in biotechnology.
During his visit to the Chinese capital, Alexander Lukashenko attended the graduation ceremony for students of the joint educational program between Belarusian State University and Peking University.
Before the event began, Lukashenko met with the leadership of Peking University and delivered a speech to the graduates.
“We in Belarus would like these programs to be in-depth and comprehensive, and to be practice-oriented. Otherwise, what is the point of this training if it is not fully applied in practice and does not benefit both nations?” said Alexander Lukashenko.
According to reports, Nikolai Lukashenko graduated with a degree in “Biotechnology” as part of a joint educational program between the two universities.
Earlier, Hou Ping, secretary of the Party Committee at Peking University, stated that Nikolai Lukashenko does not tell his classmates or professors who his father is.
News of his younger son’s studies at one of China’s most prestigious universities first emerged in 2023, when Lukashenko himself announced it. At that time, he did not specify either the faculty or the field of study.
Peking University is considered one of China’s leading institutions of higher education, and its biotechnology program is one of the most promising areas of international academic cooperation between Belarus and China.

As a reminder, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy enacted a decision by the National Security and Defense Council to impose sanctions against 16 Belarusian citizens and 11 legal entities. The restrictions apply to individuals close to Alexander Lukashenko, as well as companies that supply the Russian military with ammunition and equipment.
It was previously reported that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a new package of sanctions. Among other things, the restrictions apply to entities from Belarus.
Ukraine will intensify pressure on Russia and its partners over the illegal export of grain from temporarily occupied territories and is preparing new sanctions.

The official reason sounds complicated: “improper organization of primary financial monitoring.” Simply put, the National Bank believes that the companies failed to properly verify the origin of the funds passing through their terminals.
