Urgant Mocked Lukashenka’s Order on COVID-19

The Russian presenter regularly trolls the ruler of Belarus.

The program Evening Urgant of the Russian First Channel commented on the abolition of the mandatory mask regime in Belarus.

Host Ivan Urgant told the audience that it happened after a meeting with Aliaksandr Lukashenka on October 19, Salidarnasts reports. Let us remind you that the ruler then said:

- I spoke about masks, protective equipment, social distance, and vaccination. Take this to strict execution. No pressure on people.

Urgant noted:

- I have a question: when this order was given, was there pressure on people?

The host continued to joke:

- Belarus, by the way, has always stood out for the lack of pressure on people. They do not call it the Eastern European California for nothing.

Another joke by Urgant: Belarus was one of the first (unlike supposedly progressive countries) to fight against specific pressure - the pressure of the rubber bands from the masks on the ears.

The presenter concluded the speech on the Belarusian topic with the words:

- I envy the countries where the coronavirus directly obeys the order of the ruler.

Urgant regularly trolls the ruler of Belarus. For example, after swimming in the sea after negotiations in Sochi, the presenter compared Lukashenka to a walrus, which you should swim around.
