Few leaders in the world can administer for 30 years in power for 30 yearsEssence

Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus, was accused of stealing the results of the election, suppressing dissidents and destroying democracy.

Britain, the European Union, and the United States do not recognize him as a legal president of Belarus.

Regarding him, you should also know one thing: if anyone has pointed at Vladimir Putin, it is Lukashenko.The two have known each other for many years and often meet.

Alexander Lukashenko met with me during the Xinxing Economy BRIT Summit (Brics Summit), and he hoped that Belarus would become a member of the BRICS country.

I invited him to comment on the Korean -sent army in Ukraine with Russia.

"Non -nonsense," Lukashenko replied."Putin knows his character, he will never try to convince other countries to let his army participate in the special action of Russia in Ukraine."

"If the report is confirmed?" I asked.

"If any country's army, even Belarus, appears on the contact line, will upgrade the conflict," Alexander Lukashenko replied.

"Even if we get involved in the war, this will be a way to upgrade. Why? Because your Anglo-Saxon people will immediately say that the other side has been involved in it ... So the NATO army will be deployed to Ukraine."

I asked him if Vladimir Putin asked Lukashenko to provide the Belarusian army for the Kremlin's war in Ukraine.

"Nothing. Whether he is (former Minister of Defense) Sergei Shoigu, or the current Minister of Defense Andrei Belousov, it has not been proposedThis problem.

But Belarus played a role in the war of Russia.In February 2022, Russia's invasion of Ukraine was fully invaded, and some invasive locations were located in Belarus.Why does the leader of the country allow the Kremlin to do this?

"How do you know that I allow Belarus to use the Belarusian territory?" Lukashenko asked me.

"Because the territory of Belarus is used for (invading)."

"At that time, thousands of Russian soldiers were performing exercises. Putin began to withdraw these troops from their southern Belarus, along a road, along the Ukrainian border (withdrawn).

"Once, he transferred some of the troops to Kiev. I dare to be angry. How to withdraw the army depends on Putin. Through Kiev. Or he can pass Minsk."

"Didn't you call Putin and ask what happened?" I asked.

"No. He didn't call me. I didn't call him. These are his troops. He has the right to mobilize them in any way he likes."

This sentence reflects the influence of the Kremlin in Belarus.

Another example: Russia deployed tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.

"Are Putin ready to use these weapons in the Ukrainian war?" I asked.

"Without the consent of President Belarus, Putin would never use weapons deployed in Belarus," Lukashenko told me.

"Are you ready to allow the use of nuclear weapons?"

"I'm completely ready, otherwise why do these weapons? But the premise is that there is a (foreign) soldier's boots stepped into Belarus. We have no plans to attack anyone."

Human Rights Organization estimates that there are currently 1,300 political prisoners in Belarus.

Alexander Lukashenko has previously told me that there is no political prisoner.

But today when talking to me (maybe inadvertently), he used the word "political prisoner" when talking about a few political prisoners who were released in recent months.

Some commentators interpreted the release of political prisoners as information issued by Lukashenko to the West, that is, he sought improved relationships.

He denied this.

"We released political prisoners for humanitarian reasons," he said."Most of them are old people and patients, that's all. This will not improve the relationship with you. If you don't want to build a relationship with us, then it doesn't matter. We can live well without you."
