Gotta thank Andrew Tate for leading me to this interview. It was brilliant

"The way he destroys the BBC, I thought I did the best job but I take second place. Amazing, amazing." Amazing.

“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.” Plato

"Do you not believe me?" "Absolutely not" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love how Lukashenko casually just calls the guy Steve.

If the western media was at least 10% that critical towards western politicians....

This man spitting facts Let the man run his country

BBC: Expect people to hate lukashenko after video. Comments: He's telling facts and he's right.

President Lukashenko was the only foreign leader who came to visit Serbia during NATO aggression in 1999. He came to defy NATO bombs together with the civilians who protected bridges from destruction. Yes, democratic EU NATO members - not terrorists, were destroying bridges on Danube, Powerplants, National TV stations, factories, and many others - all that happened in the European country at the beginning of the 21st century. Whatever the politicians in Serbia do, we the people will never forget that act of friendship. Stay strong dear friend!

Lukashenko is absolutely right when he says that Western countries should stop interfering in conflicts, which have nothing to do with them, all over the world

What a BOSS Lukashenko is 💪 I like how at the end of the interview he says to the journalist "don't get your feelings hurt, you were asking for it" 😂

Bravo Lukashenko 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 he answered all questions well and slapped the west and USA on their face 🤣🤣 The Great leader he is.. !! Steve is a good journalist too.

There is a big translation mistake, Lukashenko did not say "why are you being dumb", he said something like "what are you concealing"

None our party leaders have half the love for their country that this man has. Respect to him

I just watched the version of this interview released by Belarussian channel, which is 8 minutes longer, and then this version. Some of the things ommited here: - Lukashenko says they found pesticides in the water cannons used by the polish on immigrants - he goes into more detail talking about the circus at the last US elections - when he talks about the ratio of his votes to the number of protesters, he tells Steve to do the math - gives more details on what Kolesnikova did and why he is not the person to care for revenge - on the subject of talks with the opposition, he says he accepts there are people in Belarus who see it differently how things should be run in the country, but these people are fundamentally different from those who hide in Poland and Lithuania, those are just traitors to the state of Belarus. He also draws comparisons with Russia, where Putin sees communists and other parties as opposition and keeps a dialogue with them, but not with people like Navalny, who are nothing but foreign agents - the interview doesn't end on 'But I acted according to our laws'. He adds: 'You don't like this. But I've told you what I think, how I understand it and what 87% of our people think today. They have seen your face. They have seen your democracy, freedom of speech, they've tasted it and here we go, you've witnessed it too, how you poured chemicals on poor unarmed people. Here, they have seen it'. Then while they are still seated they actally have a pretty cordial conversation where Lukashenko invites Steven to come again any time, but only if it would be broadcast live without editing. They get up and continue talking about the situation on the border, Lukashenko admits there could have possibly been some soldiers who helped the migrants cross to Poland but he doesn't blame them because it's a human thing to do. There is no ominous music at the end. Also, the sbtitles make Lukashenko sound more rude than he actually is. - 'stop being dumb' he never uses the word dumb. The verb is 'темнить' which translates to 'obfuscate', 'muddle', i.e. confuse somebody on purpose. Could be an unintentional mistake, since there is a similar adjective 'темный' which means 'uneducated' - "there's no sense in your head" the right translation would be 'it doesn't make sense to you [and your leaders]' not much difference in meaning, but a vast difference in grace.

I love Lukashenko. Feel however you may, but he is a strong leader who cares about his interests, his people, & his country. He is sharp as a tac. I really admire him & the truth he speaks. Only strong leaders like this can withstand the criminal regimes of the west.

Lukashenko is absolutely right about 99% of things said. Especially about NGO. I love that part of interview. Best ever (at 20:40) 💪💪😎😎😅

"She ate her passport, that's her business." 🤣 I love this man! ❤ Greetings to Mr President from Serbia.

This man makes me proud of a country that I'm not even a part of. Our leadership can learn something from this man.

i love this president , he even admitted he could have made mistakes and admits with facts. This dude is a top G

"The Americans told you to leave the EU. Trump told you. And you left." Brexit was meant to weaken the EU.

I like how Lukashenko destroyed him. Well done Mr. President

Steve: "She tore up her passport" Lukashenko: "She ate her passport, that's her business" AHAHAHAH

The emphasis that Lukashenko puts on Steve has me rolling 😂

"Штурмовать границу абсолютно нормально" - главная фраза этого интервью

Такое мерзкое чувство во время всего интервью, словно я весь в грязи. В то время как журналист обращается к собеседнику на "Вы", не повышает тон и задаёт конкретные вопросы, Лука орёт, "тыкает" и уходит от ответа совершенно в другую тему. Будто провинившийся ребёнок, понимающий свою вину, оправдывается перед старшими. Я ощутил испанский стыд, отвращение. Да, Лу и раньше нёс несусветицу, однако обычно она вызывала смех или недоумение, но просмотрев данное интервью я ощутил отвращение и злость. Впервые вижу Стива, но по его выдержке, позе во время разговора и слаженной речи видно, что передо мной диалог ведёт образованный мужчина. И совершенно хамское отношение к собеседнику, сгорбившись и повышая голос, проявляет дед Саша. Грустно это всё. И до боли обидно :(

Lukashenko said what we want to say from Hong Kong. Same, NGO, traitors, so called peaceful protests, exaggerated number, telling part of the story, and a lot of times lies ......

This interview is great. It's a frank discussion where everybody speaks his mind

I just don't want to say that we often see Putin, Lukatchenko, Orban etc being interviewed by western journalist but NEVER any wester leader being interviewed by a eastern journalists and imho that's very interesting and say a lot

По закону Беларуси никто не имеет права находиться в приграничной зоне без особого разрешения. В т.ч. эти иракцы и прочие.

I loved the way "Steve" near the end dropped the pretense of being a journalist, and flat out presented the Western narrative as if it were the truth, referring to his interviewee's opinions as "fairytales." Plus, the unbelievably arrogant and ignorant comment about the relevance of WW2. Classic BBC.

Today, with the Ukraine thing, we see Lukashenko was absolutely right: Europe is just the bottom-licker of the US.

У лукаша речь как у мужика из деревни, а не "господина президента".

As a American it looks like Eu is to blame not Belarusian president. He's right common sense says they(migrants)don't want to stay in Belarusia they want to go to the Eu. So by stopping support for Belarusia to keep them in Belarusia and throwing sanctions on Belarusia the Eu made the Belarusians not want to fix the Eu personal problems . It goes to show there's always 2 sides to every story. I stand with 🇧🇾 as a 🇺🇸.

A man with a golden heart nobody can see.

So glad you kept this on your channel. Not sure why as you were completely destroyed. But again, thank you.

Sitting in the puddle and trying to prove that his pants are dry

Damn this interviewer has balls Lukashenko was being very aggressive.

It’s always great to see different points of view. Good on the bbc for conducting this interview and airing the result even if it wasn’t the what they were expecting.

Who is here after tate nominated this interview??🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can't believe he agreed to do this interview, he got completely clowned 🤡

He seems slightly agitated over his failed plan or even surprised over Poland's hardline reaction to his migrant revenge tactic.

Respect for Lukashenko, if all countries had a man like him at the helm they would still call themselves "sovereign".

the interviewer is very well trained, he is doing his best to ask a question, get an answer, then ignore the answer and then continue to carry on with his new question. It's all just a method to get as much information as possible out of the person who is being interviewd. They don't actually care about anything else, it is not a normal conversation what so ever.

The BBC is amazing. They actually have an ethnically British reporter who speaks Russian.

The conversation shown all. Big thank you.

Lukashenko is a real G. Great interview and a lot to learn from this President. Great real guy.

I didn’t think of him much but after watching this interview I think we can all agree this man is not what Europe paint him to be.

160 thousand Ukrainians moving to Belarus after Donbas war is almost nothing when compared to 2 million Ukrainians who moved to Poland at the same time. The difference was when compared to current situation, 1. they moved to Poland legally (and in fact were great gain for Polish economy), 2. they went to Poland directly - not via Belarus, 3. they treated Poland as destination not as a route to Germany.

Какой позор... Иметь такого президента.... Речь не президента, а простого колхозника... Живёт попрашайкой, приезжая в Россию просит миллиарды помощи....Когда все это кончится и кончится ли вообще????

Good protector of his country.

Andrew Tate brought me here 😊 #fakenewsbbc

They would never ask these questions Biden, Boris etc...

This is the most delicious interview i have ever seen 😁

Damn! I have a new found respect for Belarus!

God bless Belarus and it's people

Thank you Steve. It was great interview !!!

Надо было спросить почему пограничники - людей с видом на жительство в Европе, выпускают раз в три месяца , а мигрантам разрешают беспрепятственно находиться на границе!?

In the end President said: Well, do not be offended, you started this conversation yourself.

the irony of all this is that the EU gave billions to turks so they wouldnt send them refugees, which they did anyway, yet now they claim belarus is doing it on purpose

Блин, те право имеют штурмовать чужую границу (ау!!!!), а свои не могли по улицам пройти. Капец. Стив, спасибо за грандиозную работу.

Стив уважение Вам! Как вы выдержали с этим хамлом так долго вести диалог? Он на вас повышал голос,срывался,хамил,вёл себя не прилично.Ну у вас и выдержка!!!!!

At this point, the BBC must be accustomed to getting a new one ripped on every interview.

20:42 the moment you are looking for

His Russian is perfect. 😻💕

Вот то кто уж реально Крепкий Орешек.... (справа) Огромное уважение и спасибо за работу!!!

Never seen a Western reporter talk such good Russian. This was surprising.

Belarus and Russia have strong leaders who have been able to protect their country from American influence. Ukraine does not. And now we all see the consequences

It's rude and stupid, thanks to the journalist for this patience and enduring this rudeness

"Mister president" is very aggressive. 🙀

That guy is a legend , he destroyed the BBC 😂😂😂

It is calming for me to see that some politicians conform still to logic and reason rather than consensus by the biased and immature as well as following popularly votes. It remind me of the quote lemony snicket says, “in a world too often governed by corruption and arrogance, it can be difficult to stay true to one’s philosophical and literary principles.” Politically, I know nothing about this politician but I can sense with my gut that he is following his ways and ideology and not conforming to aggressive and ignorant public opinion(, which is usually loud but of a minority). Engaging interview!

Ребята, это просто историческое интервью) журналист так потрясающе не дает сорваться с вопроса, не дает прервать логическую цепочку!) Ахахах, АГЛ весь в огне, а Стив в защите и все еще продолжает интервью)))

Хорошее интервью! Интересные вопросы... И еще более интересные ответы)))

Отличное интервью,и достойные ответы дал Александр Григорьевич!!!

Who’s here after Andrew Tate mentioned him

It's like talking with my teacher of Russian in the 80ies in Poland. I wish all the best for Belarusians.

16:33 Lukashenko : If you don't listen this conversation is over Do you understand? Steve : 😐(gulp) okay

That guy gives no quarter. I can see why he is still standing, why he survived the color revolutions and the assassination attempts. Where Yanukovich would run to Russia with his tail between his legs after endlessly negotiating with the EU, Lukashenko stood with an AKSU and said 'You want me? Here I am, come get me'. That's a leader. What have you got in ethe UK? Bojo? Liz Truss? lol

Thats how you should talk with BBC.

Такое маленькое интервью, и такое огромное количество лжи. Спасибо Стив за терпение и проделанную работу

Every questions from this journalist are very direct and sharp. Its amazing.

Go ,Belarus,go!

God bless you mr President, thank you for speaking out against the west

Can u imagine this reporter questioning president Biden on USA border crises ???

Стиву респект огромный!!!С таким неадекватом разговаривать это конечно еще то занятие, бедняга Стив!!! С другой стороны Лука тут во всей свое ""красе" показался, Thank you Steve!!!!

I look at the U.K. leaders and they couldn’t wash lukashenkos socks ! This man loves he’s people and he’s country ! So I give him maximum respect ✊ the bbc can’t snare this tiger 🐅

Lol😂😂 most entertaining interview. I feel I belive Lukashenko and respect for his honesty and strong position he is standing up for his country. I like how at the end he mentioned don't get your feelings hurt ...🤦‍♀️

He is protecting his country and his people, and i respect that . Uk and US, they don't care if you are a dictator or not. If you accept to be their puppet, they will call you an ally . Look at Saudi Arabia, qatar uae, ...etc

Стив Розенберг, проявив высокий профессионализм и самообладание, выдержал изливавшиеся на него потоки лжи и противоречий.

They didn't tell the interviewer don't mess with Lukashenko . Poor guy.

WE ALL NEED A MAN LIKE THIS RUNNING THEIR PLACE THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE

This is a Soviet legacy of wanting to stay as a dictator.

At least 5 times need to watch this. Thanks BBC. One of your historical iconic achievements.

Nice to hear Lukashenko. But respect to Steve, he did a very good interview

Thank you Steve from people of Belarus!!!!!!

Haha, Lukashenko surely is very impulsive and afraid. He should not be a leader of fantastic, Belarusian nation. Please man, just give up already, you lost.

People already know this kind of protest...

That’s how you handle the full of crap BBC.

Лукашенко все интервью находится в психо-эмоциальном возбуждении и постоянно "переводит стрелки" 🤦🏻‍♀️ А вы...а вот у вас... там в Англии...Америке...🤦🏻‍♀️
