Weapons against ukraine. there is no reason to have nonstop messaging from different sources, officials. putin, lukashenko and lavrov himself repeated many times. for what reason? just argument for their brutal war that has gone on all these months. or to use this as an argument as they did before in syria. that is why i believe the whole world has to raise their voice to say, putin, just stop. it is not a joke. come weapons or nuclear chemical weapons or nuclear weapons. we were number three co...

We belarusians applied to soldiers, "where are you going? are you going to fight against our sisters and brothers?" we have a lot of relatives in ukraine. the belarusian people, when they were fleeing from repressions, they went massively to ukraine, as well. and we... i want to be clear, are you saying that some belarusian forces did cross the border with russian forces, but then they came back again? they refused to fight? we dont have evidence that belarusian troops crossed the border at all....

Into this. the ambition of vladimir putin, i think, into this. the ambition of vladimir putin, ithink, has into this. the ambition of vladimir putin, i think, has always been there and been the same, although he is now articulating it through horrible violence— that he wants his empire back. where he refers much more to the ancient russian empire than the soviet empire. but he wants exclusive political and military dominance, and that is what he is aiming for. on this wish list, is ukraine. on...

By his people. hes not recognised by international society. hes not recognised by democratic leaders. and so i want to ask the same question, why are political prisoners still in prisons? there is strong actions the democratic world could do in response to the crimes that lukashenko and his cronies did. so when we were going from country to country asking to impose tough and joint sanctions against the regime, we got words of support, words of condemnation of this regime, but not real actions. o...

Lukashenko said its the ukrainians who are going to attack belarus. >> i will show you where an attack was being prepared. i brought maps with me. i will show you. if we didnt conduct a preventive strike on four positions six hours before the operation, they would have attacked belarusian and russian forces at the military drills. >> and as for the united states opinion in all of this, this is what the pentagon is saying. >> we havent seen indication that belarusian troops or forces have moved i...

I have done where i really do not know what to expect. apparently according to his press secretary he is up for a fight. as you were saying, he was the boss of the independent not a journalist. i wonder what you made of him as a interviewer in that situation. he was terrible, he was terrible! it was a 11—hour interview. it went on and on forever, he asked terrible questions and very weird questions. there was a bizarre moment in the interview when he turned to lukashenko and said, what do you ...

Legitimacy, he lost respect of belarusian people, and it also influences the situation. now he lost even support from the army, from soldiers, because belarusian people, belarusian soldiers, dont want to fight against ukraine. and its the reason why our troops hadnt still crossed the border into ukraine. exactly, i was going to raise that very point. i mean, you say lukashenko is paying his price to putin for the support putin gives him, but lukashenko has not, as far as we understand it and des...

Inflict, unless three people stand up to him, groups of people. the west, president xi, or the other, four actually, the russian people, orfourthly is lukashenko, because this could be a game changer. {lit could be a game changer. of belarus. could be a game changer. of belarus- it — could be a game changer. of belarus. it could _ could be a game changer. of belarus. it could be - could be a game changer. of belarus. it could be a i could be a game changer. of belarus. it could be a game | bel...

For lukashenko himself in belarus. belarusian people dont understand the motivation. they see how many russian soldiers are coming back killed. they have a facility for killed russian soldiers. and they see nonstop caravans of military cars full of russian soldiers killed in ukraine. it is more than 15,000 russian soldiers. it is more than afghanistan war in soviet time. it is more than america lost in iraq. for belarus, sit a nightmare to come here. that is why we still hope that lukashenko wil...

Why would belarus send their people in? >> well, lukashenko owes putin a lot. putin has kept him in power. and theres been a decades-long back and forth between putin and lukashenko, the ruler of belarus,s too whether or not russia could absorb belarus and make it another like part of the russian federation. lukashenko has tried to maintain his independence but hes increasingly dependent on putin for internal security. so when putin says i want more soldiers, lukashenko feels obligated to provid...
