3.Lukashenko refers to Putin with respect calling him his “elder friend” and “elder brother”. Such warm attitude is understandable. Putin is the only international leader that is openly intervening in Belarus in many ways.
4.During the interview, Lukashenko has touched upon some spiritual aspects. He is not really known for being a religious person. But in this interview he several times mentions God. He repeatedly illustrated him as the savior of the nation/system.
