November 13, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Belarusian pro-democracy leader Sviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja said in an interview that European leaders had turned a blind eye to Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s repressive policies for a long time, regarding him as \u201cour son of the bitch,\u201d especially before the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor us it looked like Europe just closed eyes, like \u2018Lukashenko [\u0141uka\u0161enka], you are son of the bitch, but you\u2019re our son of the bitch. We know how to work with you, so okay. We are okay with this,\u2019\u201d Cichano\u016dskaja said in an interview<\/a> with Politico\u2019s<\/em> Brussels Playbook Week Ender podcast, published on Friday. For 30 years, \u0141uka\u0161enka was playing seesaw between Russia and Europe, seeking cheap oil and gas from Russia in winter and courting European investment for the rest of the year, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cichano\u016dskaja called on the European Union not to overlook Belarus in negotiations on Ukraine and Europe\u2019s future security. She added that \u0141uka\u0161enka, who has been in power in Minsk since 1994, cannot be relied upon to provide a secure border with Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
