The exiled head of Belarus’ opposition told The Associated Press Wednesday that she thinks the iron-fisted leader whose critics call him “Europe’s Last Dictator” wants to fool President Donald Trump with gestures like prisoner releases.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya fled Belarus under government pressure after running against Alexander Lukashenko in 2020.
While thanking Trump Wednesday for winning some prisoner releases, she also warned against paying ‘too much’ for them.
"The Americans are not naive," said Tsikhanouskaya. "American administration knows who is this person (Lukashenko)."
Tsikhanouskaya also thanked Trump for helping to get her husband released from prison, and said he Trump can end the war in Ukraine he should get the Nobel Peace Prize.
