“Musk has cultivated, attracts and also welcomes people in all various media who support his views and Nawfal is an example of that,” said Paul Levinson, a professor of communication and media studies at Fordham University.
In Nawfal’s interview with Lukashenko, the Belarusian president praised Trump and blamed the war in Ukraine on the west. Lukashenko has been in power for three decades, winning an election in January 2025 with nearly 88% of the vote. The election has been characterized as a sham by western governments as he has jailed or exiled all opposition dissident leaders.
Belarusian and Russian governments promoted the interviews with Lavrov and Lukashenko, claiming they were done with a “US blogger”.
Nawfal said this characterization was “factually incorrect and misleading” as he is Australian and lives in Dubai, but did not comment on the Belarusian and Russian governments characterizing and promoting the interviews with the error.
Paul Goode, a Russian studies professor at Carleton University, said it is highly improbable what Lukashenko said was not vetted by the Kremlin, given the country’s close ties with Russia and Putin.
Ian Garner, an assistant professor of Russia, war and propaganda at the Pilecki Institute in Warsaw, Poland, noted the level of access these figures give Nawfal.
“They don’t tend to typically give interviews to anyone but friendly media,” he said.
Garner said the blogger sphere that Nawfal inhabits is “very convenient for somebody that is trying to spread propaganda” and to show support between the US right and Russia.
