everyone has learned this in the last 26 years which restore. must presume also it is obvious that a president cannot longer cope with these people he is looking for help in the east he understands that he does not have support from the west or just give up without . facing mounting pressure lukas shankar called a powerful neighbor russian president vladimir putin warning the protests were not just a threat to bellaver sending more. just. that we are already seeing the steps guiding a color revolution. in accordance with these guidelines which elements of foreign meddling are already here. is just the scenario unwraps with an aggression against spellers. hours after the phone call with persian lucas shankar said russia

had offered its fullest systems to quote ensure security in the country. and i'm joined now by journalist. who's in minsk hi hina president says he has the backing of his ally russian president vladimir putin know how has start news been received where you are in better. well he and it sad that rush to provide security assistance during the rule. with respect says requests that's right lol i mean when the news from this information was announced that notion. is going to talk to hootie in a protest there started raining on their ears st bass. we've all figured out here it's known they are all against it they are over against russia russians intervention but i must say there's a chance that russia would invade russia. where intervene the risk is kind of.

not really high and i think many people understand it though i say that people expect some provocations or some help from security agencies in russia in order to suppress dissent in though it was what the opposition they have the backing of the european union do they have a plan of of how they want political change to come about. oh it's very hard to say a few days ago donna who was a main challenger to alexander lukashenko said that he that she went. she's not actually can start negotiating with the glorious new government and she can start working on. governance in the country but it's very hard to say well the research there are tests will not accept it as any i think imagined here as we

guessed here so there are. plenty of how to transition. the power from the change that to anyone else and i think that is not willing to do so i well i mean from what you're saying how is dot affecting the atmosphere there where you are in minsk i mean we saw those images of people out on the streets for a 7th day. well if people now really want. and yes process has half been happening where the past weeks but also all this rally spring action rallies what that sometimes you can also have where weeks before the elections race and even for months because there were some protests been in court so these discontents and has been under rice recently it's not like it started just on sunday when when the election results were announced so

so people done one compromise they want to go they want to change the man at the top and that's i think the main difference in what we could observe in previous years and one of these parts are happening all across the country so it's not like the capitol is protesting that smaller towns small cities regional cities are protesting this well so it's filled labor who countries on the right and. that's the president. your book over in minsk thanks for your update. us secretary of state mike pompei or says his country is working with its european partners to support the batteries in people pay 0 made the comments on a visit to warsaw where he signed a deal that will see a 1000 u.s. troops move from germany to poland the defense pact will pave the way for an
