VLADIMIR Putin has his eyes on Belarus - but its people won't go down without a fight and they will never bow down to Russia, the country's exiled opposition leader has vowed. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya sat down with The Sun Online as she gave a defiant message to Minsk and Moscow . This week the English teacher turned opposition leader was sentenced in absentia to 15 years in a prison camp after she ran for president against Putin's puppet leader Alexander Lukashenko . It was an election rife with fraud - with Lukashenko declaring himself the winner with 80 per cent of the vote - and that sparked an uprising as Tsikhanouskaya was forced to flee Belarus. When asked if she had anything to say to Lukashenko regarding her prison sentence, she was brief. Tsikhanouskaya said: "I have nothing to say to this person. He doesn’t care about our country. He doesn’t care about people. He takes care only of his own power."
