In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Matthew Chance, the president of Belarus admitted that he personally was regularly watching the US-based television channel.

"Matthew, I would like to see your television channel to be more objective and honest," Lukashenko said. "You represent an esteemed television channel, which we are watching at home. My youngest son speaks decent English and he is often translating for me."

"This world is cramped, very cramped," Lukashenko continued. "This planet seems to be very large but it is so small at the same time. No matter how different we may be, it is for us to live jointly on this planet. So, let us live in peace."
