Description:

From The Guardian: "He would like his country to be better understood, and his successes to be better grasped," Bell told the Moscow Times, following a meeting with the president at his Minsk office. He added: "Lukashenko doesn't see why Belarus can't be a friend to the west and a friend to Russia at the same time."
