President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus is currently experiencing a health problem, and rumors are swirling that his condition may be serious. If he were to pass away, it is possible that his son Viktor could become the next president of Belarus.

This question will resolve to "Yes" if the US government recognizes Viktor Lukashenko as president of Belarus on September 1, 2023. To be clear, September 1, 2023 need not be the first day on which the US government recognizes him as president; instead, this question asks whether, on that date, the US government will recognize Viktor Lukashenko, someone else or no one as the president of Belarus, or whether the structure of the Belarusian government may be different on that date from its current structure.
