The leader of the Belarusian opposition, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, is on her first official tour of the United States. Her in-person talks with high-ranking U.S. officials will be closely watched not only in Belarus, but also in Moscow, which views its eastern neighbor as part of its “sphere of influence.” VOA’s Igor Tsikhanenka sat down for an exclusive interview with Tsikhanouskaya in Washington.
