Lukashenko `tricked Us' Exiled Belarus Opposition Leader Says

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko "bears full responsibility" for the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Ukraine, according to exiled opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. "He tricked into this war. He is an accomplice of Russia," Tsikhanouskaya said on Bloomberg Television, Friday. Lukashenko has allowed Belarus to be used as a staging ground for Russia's invasion, payback for Russian President Vladimir Putin's bankrolling of his government and for coming to his aid aid following a disputed 2020 election which sparked a popular uprising, repression and sanctions.
