Breaking diplomatic bombshell! In a daring deal brokered by President Trump's envoy, Belarus's iron-fisted leader Alexander Lukashenko has freed 123 political prisoners—including Nobel Peace Prize winner Ales Bialiatski and top opposition figure Maria Kalesnikava. In exchange, the U.S. is lifting sanctions on Belarus's massive potash industry, a global fertilizer powerhouse. This high-stakes swap could pave the way for releasing up to 1,000 more prisoners and signals a bold U.S. push to loosen Lukashenko's grip on Russian alliances—game-changing geopolitics in action!
