Did The IMF Try Bribe Belarus With $950 Million To be in Lockstep?

As Melbourne descends into Stage 4 Lock-down, I will only be allowed out for 1-hour exercise day. Somewhat a relief at least, as I spend approximately 30 minutes in the waters of Port Phillip Bay each day. But while on the beach this afternoon I was alerted to a story that originated with one of the Russian woman that swim each day; the case of a President turning down a bribe.
BOOM! The President of Belarus, it seems, has turned down a $950 million bribe.
It sounded like the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko didn’t want to be in “lock-step” with the rest of the world. On returning home I did a quick search in English and nothing surfaced, so did a very quick google-translate search in Russian, and this article surfaced (one of many). Please note, below is a google translation:
“At a recent meeting with the Cabinet of Ministers, the head of Belarus said that the International Monetary Fund offered ‘quick financing’ for almost a billion dollars, in exchange for the president’s will to do everything ‘like in Italy’.
“In the following video (from 1 min. 50 sec. To 2 min. 50 sec.) Lukashenka talks about the IMF’s proposal, as well as what he thinks about it:
[Lukashenka speaking] “It was announced about the possibility of providing Belarus with 940 million dollars of so-called quick financing… I want to declare that we will not dance to anyone! There are already demands: you say, in the fight against coronavirus in Belarus, do as in Italy! … Listen, I don’t want the situation in Belarus to repeat itself as in Italy. I don’t want this. We have our own country, our own situation. And God forbid that we end up with this coronavirus as it is now. The World Bank is already ready to finance us 10 times more than it offered, for the fact that we are effectively fighting this disease. Even I have requested experience from the Ministry of Health. And the IMF continues to demand from us: you give quarantine, let’s isolate, let’s have a curfew! … Listen, what nonsense! “
Thank God for some leaders standing up to the global mafia. I believe Lukashenka is saying that the IMF offered $950m to “quarantine… isolate… curfew!”, all because Belarus is “effectively fighting this disease.”
(Could a reader that understand the video, please confirm what is being said.)
