EXCLUSIVE: One-on-one with Belarusian President, Alexander Lukashenko

After a short vacation Rick is back and bringing the Sanchez Effect to Minsk, where he sat down for an exclusive interview with one of the most famous Post-Soviet leaders, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus. Despite being a firm Russian ally, Belarus has announced a ‘big deal’ with US President Donald Trump. Lukashenko assured Rick that he is no Vladimir Zelensky, and doesn't plan to beg Washington for money and arms.

Lukashenko wants the potential deal to be mutually beneficial and a possible stepping stone towards warm relations between Russia and the US. This goal puts Minks at odds with Europe, which would gladly topple the Belarusian leadership, according to Lukashenko.

To answer the Western politicians labeling him a dictator, the Belarusian President offers this response: ‘how can you lecture us on human rights when you bomb schools in independent countries?’. You'll hear many more strong statements from one of the world's most experienced statesmen here on RT International.
