    ' AP's reporting does not support some of the claims made by Pr. Lukashenko in this interview '
    Did anyone ask you to write your opinion in the first place? Your job as a journalist is to put each and every part of the interview as it is, irrespective of whether you agree with it or not.

    AP has deliberately done a selective translation of what Lukashenko has been saying, leaving away phrases and words from his dialogues that would present a more holistic view of his point, and in a better way express his feelings to the people in the west, only to keep the people in the west in darkness about the events in East Europe, and the history of the region.

    I've been following this as closely as I can since the US-sponsored coup in 2014 and the subsequent 8 years of genocidal attacks on Donbass. What this man says is in agreement with what I have seen. I don't know why the commenters below seem to see a completely different person than I see, but I do know that my countrymen have been trained to never ever see the truth in foreign policy matters and if they do see it, to never admit to it. I'm sure many would say I'm a traitor for not embracing the lies, but I believe that a liar will surely meet his comeuppance and so it is the liars that are traitors and are bringing about a very hard and sad time for the people of my country.

    • @timcasady4750

      People are people the whole world over and most people want to live in peace without government interference. Leaders like Putin fear free speech where citizens have the right to express themselves knowing the power of the people can end rule and therefore go to great lengths to suppress anyone who has a different view. No government is perfect but at least the people of democratic countries can protest wrong doing of a leader without fear of being arrested, tortured and sent to prison if your lucky enough not to be out righted executed.

He has already initiated one Minsk Agreement. Those who are arming Ukraine now are in favor of war, instead of promoting peace negotiations.
