Steve, You've done well. You are doing your best to pose the questions I would pose. Regardless of the responses, you have done your best. Thank you so much for what you do. Lynette
Thanks Steve. Your updates are always extremely interesting, particularly at the moment when events in Ukraine seem to have slipped off the front page.

I am genuinely sorry, the people of Ukraine, have/are suffering, in the manner they are, .... .. when IMO it could all have been avoided.
He’s a real piece of work. I’m sure he thought, as Putin did, that the whole thing was going to be over in a few days and that he was also going to reap the rewards. You can tell, though, that he feels more and more squeezed into a corner.
No he did not. There is no video of him saying thst because he never did. Putin's goal was to force Ukraine to the negotiations table in Istanbul to accept a Minsk 3 like agreement. He succeeded in this and Ukraine did go to Istanbul The problem is that Boris Johnson suddenly went to Ukraine and told the Ukrainians to continue the war. Now 1 million to 750 000 Ukranian soldiers are dead and 2 to 3 million are maimed. Prior Putin was offering Ukraine all of Eastern Ukraine back and a new referendum on Crimea. Now Putin said he is going to keep all of Eastern Ukraine and Ukraine is going to lose all of the territories permanently. Russia offered to give it all back to Ukraine. Because Ukraine refused Russia's offer Russia is going to keep everything plus destroy the Ukrainian military as a fighting force. Keep in mind the regions where Russia occupied are responsible for 85% of Ukraine's total GDP. There is where all the industries are located. All the coal, gas, minesx factories are all located in Eastern Ukraine. The rest of Ukraine is all just fame land.
Actually the only ones propagating the made up "Kiev/ Ukraine in 3 days/ 3 weeks" have been Western propaganda channels. You're litterally enforcing your own false narrative lol
the invasion force was around 80 to 100k....u cant take a country like ukraine with that number of troops...putin wanted to force ukraine to negotiating table which they did,,,,at istambul they reached an agreement ,fact confirmed by erdogan and ex israeli prim minister as parts on negotiations....in the agremeent ukraine would not join nato and keep neutral status ,keeps teritories invaded by ruskies,except crimeea,give some civil rights to minorities....maybe u remeber boris johnson the clown went to kiev 3 days before quiting as uk primminister and convinced zelensky to fight....result is hundreds of thousands of young ppl dead on both sides,ukraine loosing badly this war....such muppets
Actually, the west are the ones" in the corner". Especially Europe is getting rekt by this war. While Russia is doing relatively better despite the war.
Such hostile comments! Come on, guys, deep down we all like Lukashenko, he has a particular style. Fun fact: he speaks a dozen languages, just check on RUclips
One simple question never gets asked. Which country in NATO feels that a certain part of the Russian Federation belongs to them and wishes it returned, even by military means if necessary? Now ask that same question to Putin about lands of many NATO countries. It is clear who has an army to attack and who has an army to defend.
This excuse 'If Ukraine joined NATO, that would harm Russia' is just comlete BS since they made Finland join and now, with thousands of more kilometers of NATO territory directly next to Russia, they seem to be completely ok with that?

Well, at least Steve was able to get in a good few questions. Unlike Putin who always wants to give us a (his version of) history lesson in every long drawn out reply to simple questions.
Making up stories and lies is his favorite, he got use to it and no one is going to budge or tell him in his face so he doesn’t care at all….even the host cannot believe his ears.
A dictator that holds power will never admit to anything he does not want to admit. Only difference between dictators is how smart they deliver the lie.
The seriousness of the current situation in the world encourages me to write this letter. One of the permanent members of the UN Security Council - the Russian Federation - became an aggressor country and even repeatedly threatened to use its nuclear weapons. The gravity of such a threat is steadily increasing due to being largely fueled by the growing Russian religious chauvinism. The goals of the “Russian spiritual mission”, “Russian world”, and so forth act as the “sacred” fruits of the Russian State Orthodox establishment under the rather grotesque name “Holy Russia”. However, here the word “holy” in its real context means “above anything” and is intended to justify any internal and external aggression of the Russian authorities as “spiritual and holy”. There are symptoms of the real formation and development of Russian state fascism, based on the maniac delusions of self-righteousness and special mission in the world, and characterised by pseudo-religious propaganda and aggressive intolerance to any other ideology. Russia is the largest country in the world by its territory with huge reserves of natural resources as well as nuclear weapons. Moreover, this situation is worsened by the fact that the aggressor Russian Federation is the permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, the goals of which are “maintaining international peace and security; development of friendly relations between peoples; cooperation in solving international problems and in ensuring respect for human rights; and the coordination and centralisation of the actions of nations. ” Therefore, the foundations of the established world order appear critically damaged. As a result, each country in the world, without exception, has become a hostage to this situation. Because of this, the task of the entire international community now is not limited to the termination of war in Ukraine, but is much greater. It has developed into the need of creating a new world order, which would never again allow any country to blackmail the rest of the world with the use of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction. It is particularly significant that the current crisis around Ukraine is not only political and military, but, above all, has ideological and religious basis. Yet, the specifics of any conflicts of an ideological or religious nature usually determine that their resolving is impossible without the demolition of their ideological or religious background. Yours sincerely, bishop Vincent Berg.
Yes, asking difficult questions makes you a state operative lol - maybe if Russian journalists could ask questions freely instead of being part of the state propaganda machine... 😂
Lukashenko is a clever old fox, do not underestimate him. He is a master of navigating around land mines between east and the west and everwhere in between. Anyways - I appreciate respectful interview, and for a westerner, journalists Russian language skills are very impressive.
No, he just brutally oppresses his people just like all the other dictators. Eventually they become deluded too. Any grade school bully would do the same thing if people let them.
Haha ! Potato dictator is liar and already has wet underwear. Russia attacked Ukraine from the teritory of Belarus. Belarus is already considered as aggressor and history will not forget this. Everybody remembers these helicopters flying to Kiyv from Belarus. Putin didnt want bordering with Nato countries? What about Sweden and Finland joining Nato as a response for russian aggression on Ukraine? Such a great strategist ! ha ha. Soon South Korea will start helping Ukraine, because North Korea already sent troops to help Putin. Soon Ukraine will be able to produce its own long range missiles.
It's not about NATO. Putin couldn't just tell his people that he wants some of that sweet money stolen from Ukrainians prior to 2014 and Russians must sacrifice themselves to help him get it.
Prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine proper, Russia invaded Crimea. Prior to any of that, the West pressured Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons, with the promise of protection from Russia if needed. If the West was that antagonistic towards Russia, it would have left the nukes. Never give up your weapons. I guess these people don't watch movies.
Exfil his troops through Kyiv....while other units simultaneously build up on the eastern border of Ukraine in order to invade....but the Russians in Belarus are only there for exercises....
This is so funny. Interviews with people that do not need to stick to rules on what to say/or not, or must say things (usually in a 'nice respectful manner') but speak from the heart are the best interviews. Whether it's a world leader or some random guy at the street
Love him or loathe him, you have to acknowledge Lukashenko is a strong stateman, a firm believer in what he has been doing consistently for 30 years & a true patriot of his country unlike 90% of western leaders
Anyone can be a strong stateman if develop means to suppress the citzens by force. Words and decisions have no consequences as he id above the law. You adore this. I find it disqusting. We are not the same.
Why this dictator thinks his country is immune to strikes,nuclear or conventional or how own country can be invaded and liberated?and the crux of it all is he would not able to stop it,nor his army and people would fight against these forces.Ukrainian or NATO matters little.Будзь уважлівы да таго, што гаворыш, бульбяная галава.
This is a quality interview. Well done Steve Rosenberg. I guess there aren’t many BBC journalists complaining that they want to be the correspondent in Russia.
He has only rightly been elected in 1994, any other election since that one was neither free or fair or it was deeply manipulated in 2020. Belarusians don't want him as their leader.
@@dekartmagomedov He said that it would not be an acceptable situation if NATO missiles could be stationed so close to Russia.... Belarus has been direct neighbour of NATO member Poland since 1999. No problem?. In the meanwhile, Belarus has been recruiting migrants in the middle east, and has escorted these folks from their arrival airport in Belarus straight to the polish border...Great way to make friends. The explanation regarding the amassment of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, followed by the invasion, is also interesting. Would you expect Mr. Lukaschenko to appoint his successor? (after more than 30 years in power)- and would you consider it normal if this successor happens to be a close relative?. I am sure that folks such as Kim Jong Un, the great leader, would fully approve.

I was there a few years ago. Its a beautiful country but you cant say anything on street, they fear their special police will kidnap you and beat you up
It's hilarious how Westerners love talk trash about other countries leaders and other countries political leaders who have high approval rating it those countries when Westerners themselves hate their own leaders in their own western countries and the approval rating of their own politicians are abysmal in the low 20% and 30%s I mean look at Macron, Steimer, Scholz, Trudeau and all other Western leaders. Do you think these leaders are smarter and better leaders than Lukashenko? Do you even have any idea what Lukashenko has done for Belarus and the Belarusian people after the horror that followed after the collapse of the USSR? Here is a guy who is the president of country who saw Nazi Germany wipe our 3/4s of their population during WWII and all their major cities turned to rubble. You don't know Jack about the treats he sees to his country from Nato and the West. Remember what NATO did to Yugoslavia and Libya. You think if it wasn't for Russia's close relationship and protection of Belarus that Nato would not have invaded Belarus again since the end of the cold war?
Lukashenko is a more 'likeable' liar than Putin is, it's the fear; that's what makes him so agreeable. This man fears Putin. He almost sounds like his mother.
"You mustn't blackmail the world by threatening with nuclear weapons." - Vladimir Putin (according to Lukashenko) Hmm🤔 It may not be the same Putin, this Lukashenko is speaking of?
Steve when he said Putin is only human I wish you'd asked him as he's implying humans have weaknesses as we all know they obviously do, then does he think One human should have the responsibility and power to rule over millions of other humans the way dictators do?
Russian and Belarusian people are basically indistinguishable from each other. Different flag and different government, that's about the only difference. No one should surprised that Putin gets absolute loyalty from them.
Very interesting interview as it gives an insight into how this conflict has affected the Belarusian-Russia connection. Feels like Lukashenko is stressed about this situation and tries to overly elaborate
Yet, he let western journalist in knowing it will only show his bad sides and do spins... I would like to see some Bel, Rus, Iranian asking western leaders same tought questions.
Look how he reacted on the question why he gave Putin permission to attack Ukraine from Belarus. He ends up in some sort of stupid discussion with himself….
All I got from this is that Lukashenko is absolutely terrified of Putin! Lol.
Idiota.

Twisted history comes from US, UK and other nato terrorists
"Mr Lukashenko, why do you think the Russian army has been totally and utterly and completely shite?"
British SIS/military intelligence masses, MI6. Tell us publicly how there were arrangements with the USSR to move people from Europe to the USSR. That is what is happening now! Show the documents !
He is like Italy's Mussolini in WW2. Remember that Mussolini was hanged by his own people
Zelensky is the only one in danger of that.That's why he spends majority of his time outside of Ukraine and has foreign guards protect him.
He was gunned down, not hanged
"His own people" is kind of reductionist. He was killed by opposing partisan/communist political factions as the allies advanced
True but his body was strung up and beaten and spat on by angry Italian crowds because he had destroyed their country - so perhaps not too far off.

He and his girlfriend,
their bodies were hung upside down,

in a square, in Milan.

Well, at least Steve was able to get in a good few questions. Unlike Putin who always wants to give us a (his version of) history lesson in every long drawn out reply to simple questions.
Classic dictator. Three hour speeches.
What is you version of history, brainwashed by bbc propaganda
Making up stories and lies is his favorite, he got use to it and no one is going to budge or tell him in his face so he doesn’t care at all….even the host cannot believe his ears.
A dictator that holds power will never admit to anything he does not want to admit. Only difference between dictators is how smart they deliver the lie.
The seriousness of the current situation in the world encourages me to write this letter.
One of the permanent members of the UN Security Council - the Russian Federation - became an aggressor country and even repeatedly threatened to use its nuclear weapons. The gravity of such a threat is steadily increasing due to being largely fueled by the growing Russian religious chauvinism.
The goals of the “Russian spiritual mission”, “Russian world”, and so forth act as the “sacred” fruits of the Russian State Orthodox establishment under the rather grotesque name “Holy Russia”. However, here the word “holy” in its real context means “above anything” and is intended to justify any internal and external aggression of the Russian authorities as “spiritual and holy”. There are symptoms of the real formation and development of Russian state fascism, based on the maniac delusions of self-righteousness and special mission in the world, and characterised by pseudo-religious propaganda and aggressive intolerance to any other ideology.
Russia is the largest country in the world by its territory with huge reserves of natural resources as well as nuclear weapons. Moreover, this situation is worsened by the fact that the aggressor Russian Federation is the permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, the goals of which are “maintaining international peace and security; development of friendly relations between peoples; cooperation in solving international problems and in ensuring respect for human rights; and the coordination and centralisation of the actions of nations. ” Therefore, the foundations of the established world order appear critically damaged. As a result, each country in the world, without exception, has become a hostage to this situation.
Because of this, the task of the entire international community now is not limited to the termination of war in Ukraine, but is much greater. It has developed into the need of creating a new world order, which would never again allow any country to blackmail the rest of the world with the use of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction.
It is particularly significant that the current crisis around Ukraine is not only political and military, but, above all, has ideological and religious basis. Yet, the specifics of any conflicts of an ideological or religious nature usually determine that their resolving is impossible without the demolition of their ideological or religious background.
Yours sincerely,
bishop Vincent Berg.

Rosenberg is a GB state-owned operative who happens to speak Russian very well.
Yes, asking difficult questions makes you a state operative lol - maybe if Russian journalists could ask questions freely instead of being part of the state propaganda machine... 😂
Fascinating interview Steve. Lukashenko was squirming through that interview at times it was clear he was speaking to one person and one person only.
Thats nuts
Alexander Crookashenko
What a clown
where?
A former comedian has made two people into the biggest joke we have ever seen.
At the end of the day , when the money dry out from Western lackeys, Ukraine will be like Prussia. Nomore.
Lukashenko was the only leader in the world to correctly handle the Covie problem.
why are you not writing it properly
What is he talking about.
Both sides suffer. Both sides suffer.
Its Normal. Right?
ICC should also arrest him as putin's accomplice.
wha you gonna do about it
Lukashenko is a clever old fox, do not underestimate him. He is a master of navigating around land mines between east and the west and everwhere in between. Anyways - I appreciate respectful interview, and for a westerner, journalists Russian language skills are very impressive.
I don’t think is a clever fox! Is just a limited illiterate and pathological liar opportunist!
No, he just brutally oppresses his people just like all the other dictators. Eventually they become deluded too.
Any grade school bully would do the same thing if people let them.
Why did you cut certain parts of Lukashenka's speech short?
😂 Gess, why!
Haha ! Potato dictator is liar and already has wet underwear. Russia attacked Ukraine from the teritory of Belarus. Belarus is already considered as aggressor and history will not forget this. Everybody remembers these helicopters flying to Kiyv from Belarus. Putin didnt want bordering with Nato countries? What about Sweden and Finland joining Nato as a response for russian aggression on Ukraine? Such a great strategist ! ha ha. Soon South Korea will start helping Ukraine, because North Korea already sent troops to help Putin. Soon Ukraine will be able to produce its own long range missiles.
It's not about NATO. Putin couldn't just tell his people that he wants some of that sweet money stolen from Ukrainians prior to 2014 and Russians must sacrifice themselves to help him get it.
Feel sorry for little brainwashed people like yourself
Idiot
Prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine proper, Russia invaded Crimea. Prior to any of that, the West pressured Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons, with the promise of protection from Russia if needed. If the West was that antagonistic towards Russia, it would have left the nukes. Never give up your weapons. I guess these people don't watch movies.
Rattled
Exfil his troops through Kyiv....while other units simultaneously build up on the eastern border of Ukraine in order to invade....but the Russians in Belarus are only there for exercises....
Angry potato man noises.
Russia from Brest to Vladivostok? Is that the plan of these mad people?
A pack of lies.
Pack of truths
@@yuri.moiseyev Yup, Putin was definitely too stupid to anticipate Finland and Sweden joining NATO.
Brilliant strategist.
Where can we watch the entire interview?
Frieden und Freundschaft mit Russland und Belarus!
Could not finish hearing the interview. It’s a shame to give a platform to discredited politicians like Lukashenko.
Belarus leader is a honest guy
💪💪💪🇷🇺🖐️
This is so funny. Interviews with people that do not need to stick to rules on what to say/or not, or must say things (usually in a 'nice respectful manner') but speak from the heart are the best interviews. Whether it's a world leader or some random guy at the street
Love him or loathe him, you have to acknowledge Lukashenko is a strong stateman, a firm believer in what he has been doing consistently for 30 years & a true patriot of his country unlike 90% of western leaders
Anyone can be a strong stateman if develop means to suppress the citzens by force. Words and decisions have no consequences as he id above the law. You adore this.
I find it disqusting.
We are not the same.
Why this dictator thinks his country is immune to strikes,nuclear or conventional or how own country can be invaded and liberated?and the crux of it all is he would not able to stop it,nor his army and people would fight against these forces.Ukrainian or NATO matters little.Будзь уважлівы да таго, што гаворыш, бульбяная галава.
Can NATO troops go from Poland through Minsk to Ukraine?
No but from Poland to Ukraine yes I assume, but even that not because there can be no foreign boots on the ground
try and see what happens.
Wow impressed. Amazing interview. Learned so much in 20 minutes.
This is a quality interview. Well done Steve Rosenberg. I guess there aren’t many BBC journalists complaining that they want to be the correspondent in Russia.
Is this guy a state President? Of which country? I can't think of any country electing this guy as their President
He is president of Belarus.
He has only rightly been elected in 1994, any other election since that one was neither free or fair or it was deeply manipulated in 2020. Belarusians don't want him as their leader.
What about Biden?😅
@@ajaxamsterdam9095he’s Putin puppet!
@@kukolkan154Brandon won with a landslide
I much preferred the complete, unedited, 1-hour-long impromptu interview I watched in the Russian-language BBC channel.
Lukashenko you fired!!! Go home... 😂
Just reinstate the Iron Wall and everything will be fine.
"Better to be a dictator than gay" ~Lukashenko.
Absolutely based guy, too bad we have to put up with imbeciles for leaders in the West.
You can always move to Russia
He speaks more truth and common sense than Biden
And he can hold on to his job for longer. He has been in power for 30 years. I wonder how that is possible.
So he admits that its an escalation sending north korean special forces to fight ukraine 😂 Will we see him disappear in a strange way soon?
Crazy dictator, i'm talking like a Belarusian
this man is slinging some serious bullshit.
Steve you mean
@@dekartmagomedov He said that it would not be an acceptable situation if NATO missiles could be stationed so close to Russia....
Belarus has been direct neighbour of NATO member Poland since 1999. No problem?.
In the meanwhile, Belarus has been recruiting migrants in the middle east, and has escorted these folks from their arrival airport in Belarus straight to the polish border...Great way to make friends.
The explanation regarding the amassment of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, followed by the invasion, is also interesting.
Would you expect Mr. Lukaschenko to appoint his successor? (after more than 30 years in power)- and would you consider it normal if this successor happens to be a close relative?.
I am sure that folks such as Kim Jong Un, the great leader, would fully approve.
He used to beat up his employees on the state run farm. A bullying yob in a suit.
He's not gonna end well
I feel sorry for Belarussians having this idiot in charge.

@goattm2 Western travelers report a clean, orderly country with all mod cons.
I was there a few years ago. Its a beautiful country but you cant say anything on street, they fear their special police will kidnap you and beat you up
It's hilarious how Westerners love talk trash about other countries leaders and other countries political leaders who have high approval rating it those countries when Westerners themselves hate their own leaders in their own western countries and the approval rating of their own politicians are abysmal in the low 20% and 30%s
I mean look at Macron, Steimer, Scholz, Trudeau and all other Western leaders. Do you think these leaders are smarter and better leaders than Lukashenko?
Do you even have any idea what Lukashenko has done for Belarus and the Belarusian people after the horror that followed after the collapse of the USSR?
Here is a guy who is the president of country who saw Nazi Germany wipe our 3/4s of their population during WWII and all their major cities turned to rubble.
You don't know Jack about the treats he sees to his country from Nato and the West.
Remember what NATO did to Yugoslavia and Libya.
You think if it wasn't for Russia's close relationship and protection of Belarus that Nato would not have invaded Belarus again since the end of the cold war?
Зеленский лучший президент 😂
Lukashenko is a more 'likeable' liar than Putin is, it's the fear; that's what makes him so agreeable. This man fears Putin. He almost sounds like his mother.
"You mustn't blackmail the world by threatening with nuclear weapons."
- Vladimir Putin (according to Lukashenko)
Hmm🤔 It may not be the same Putin, this Lukashenko is speaking of?
Steve when he said Putin is only human I wish you'd asked him as he's implying humans have weaknesses as we all know they obviously do, then does he think One human should have the responsibility and power to rule over millions of other humans the way dictators do?
You can see the first cracks in his speech
sure. and the lochness monster in the left corner.
Lukashenko is very articulate and seems to be a wise man !
He speaks broken russian because of a poor education.
Hilarious...
Russian and Belarusian people are basically indistinguishable from each other. Different flag and different government, that's about the only difference. No one should surprised that Putin gets absolute loyalty from them.
Very interesting interview as it gives an insight into how this conflict has affected the Belarusian-Russia connection. Feels like Lukashenko is stressed about this situation and tries to overly elaborate
This walrus talks a load of verbal lying crap
His fate is inextricably linked to Putin's fate. He's agreed to this interview because he knows things aren't going well.
Would you believe one word this murderous dictator say?Not me.
Yet, he let western journalist in knowing it will only show his bad sides and do spins... I would like to see some Bel, Rus, Iranian asking western leaders same tought questions.
@@CaDzA818 This interview was for is own selfish interests and not out of the goodness of his heart.

Look how he reacted on the question why he gave Putin permission to attack Ukraine from Belarus. He ends up in some sort of stupid discussion with himself….
He makes more sense that western politicians
