Exiled Belarus opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya says the upcoming presidential election in Belarus is a "farce" and that she’ll continue to work toward political, economic and diplomatic isolation of President Alexander Lukashenko. "Change" in Belarus hinges on Ukraine’s victory against Russia, Tsikhanouskaya adds. She also discusses US President Donald Trump’s "America First" policy and says the freedom of Belarus and Ukraine, independent from Russian influence, is vital for European stability and security. She speaks on Bloomberg Television at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
