Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko said at a press conference on the day of the "elections" that he does not regret allowing Russia to use his country to invade Ukraine, The Guardian reports.
"I don't regret anything," he said in response to a reporter's question.
He also declined to say whether this would be his last election, adding that he "is not going to die" and has no specific successor. At the same time, Lukashenko said that among the current regional governors, members of the government or parliament there may be "future presidents", but not women. "I am categorically against a woman doing this work. A woman cannot be a dictator, but we have quite a few men who could become leaders," he said.
Earlier, Lithuanian Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas suggested that additional sanctions would be imposed on Belarus, without specifying whether they would be imposed only by his government or by the entire EU. "We will openly talk about the regime's repressions and Russia's participation in the war against Ukraine, to which we will respond with sanctions," he said.
