BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya: Is the fate of Belarus tied to the fate of Ukraine?

Stephen Sackur speaks to the exiled leader of Belarus's opposition

Stephen Sackur speaks to Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, the exiled leader of the movement against Belarus's authoritarian president. Is her country's fate now tied to that of Ukraine?

With the world focused on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it’s easy to overlook one other key element of Vladimir Putin’s Greater Russia strategy: Moscow’s ever tighter grip on Ukraine’s northern neighbour Belarus, now used as a launchpad for the Ukraine assault. Belarus’s authoritarian President Lukashenko seems to be in Putin’s pocket, whether he likes it or not. Stephen Sackur speaks to the exiled leader of the anti-Lukashenko movement, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. Is the fate of Belarus now tied to the fate of Ukraine?
