"Now you are completely under the protection of the Republic of Belarus"

Mr Neumann told state TV he planned to stay in the Belarusian city of Brest.

"I have started a life here," he said.

He added that he has plans "to move my family here," but noted that the decision would ultimately be up to his wife.

Life in Belarus sounds like a harsh sentence. But if that's what he wants, let them feed him.

Well he'll see how much freedom there is in an authoritarian regime. Also if any of you don't know how nuts "president" Lukashenko is just watch this:


Also I used quotation marks around the word president because Lukashenko is as much an elected president as Putler is.
