“We need to go to court. Let [IOC President Thomas] Bach and the gang tell me what is my fault, that I defend my country ?!
I have not taken part in these events for 25 years, and I will survive further. But have you gathered all the countries and made a decision? And okay, why are you touching the children? “, – he said.
Lukashenka stated that there is no justice in the world. “If you build a fair policy, you will be the enemy,” he complained.
