>Seems like Lukashenko completely lost his mind

You never seen him before? He was always like this, just look at his videos when he inspects local factories and swears at directors. Or his speech about meat and potatoes. Or his previous interviews with western journalists.

It is his style.

But he is pretty smart person, he only looks silly. He is smart not like intellectual, but like tricky and skillful politician, who balances between EU and Russia for dozens of years and still not completely submitted to any of them, and also remains in power while having multiple internal enemies and non-loyal population.

It is very complex task: typical western politician would resign after much less shit that Lukashenko did, and typical eastern one would be in prison or at least hiding in some banana country. But Lukashenko still here.
