Alyaksandr Lukashenka claimed on April 22 that everyone would be able to enter Belarus during the championship, he added. “Why are you ousting me from Belarus then?” the journalist asked.
Swedish human rights defender Martin Uggla, Polish MEP Marek Migalski and some other foreigners who had criticized the Belarusian authorities were not allowed to enter our country before and at the beginning of the hockey championship either.
