MINSK, 26 April (BelTA) – Two hours of a candid conversation about life and situation in the world – that is how RT host and presenter of the Sanchez Effect program Rick Sanchez described his interview with Aleksandr Lukashenko as he talked to the Belarus 1 TV channel, BelTA reports.
“I saw that he is a very sincere person; he is genuine and relatable. He doesn’t worry about whether anyone will like his answers or not. He speaks from his heart. I think that is very unusual, especially for a politician,” said Rick Sanchez. “I also felt a certain kinship with him. I grew up in Cuba, in poverty; my parents had no money. We came to the United States as migrants. And he shared his story with me. He also comes from a communist country, the USSR, and also grew up in poverty, but he managed to make his own way. He radiates a very pleasant energy as a person.”
