Putin, Lukashenko say problems in Belarus will be solved as protests surge

Accused of rigging last Sunday’s election, Lukashenko had earlier issued an appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin as the Belarus leader grapples with the biggest challenge to his 26-year rule and the threat of new Western sanctions.

“Both sides expressed confidence that all the problems that have arisen will be resolved soon,” a Kremlin statement said after Lukashenko and Putin spoke by phone. On a visit to neighbouring Poland, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Washington was monitoring the situation closely. The leaders of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania called on Belarus to conduct new “free and fair” elections.

Opposition presidential candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who fled to neighbouring Lithuania on Tuesday, has called for more protests and an election recount. Lukashenko, a 65-year-old who once ran a Soviet collective farm, has faced increasing anger over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic as well as a sluggish economy and civil rights.

Russian military troops in Belarus will undoubtedly lead to DEFCON3

Strange that in a country with a poverty rate of 0.3% people speak about dictatorship.....

Lukaschenko doesn't need foreigner to solve the problem but calls the Kremlin 🤔

Jesus Christ what a powerful photo.

Protestors all around the world are seeking to undermine our stability as nations...protestors just need to get back to work to provide for their families and help stabilize their own countries

That photo is a winner. Powerful.

Military and police will never stand by people and protect them!

Is the end near for Lukashenko?

But this leaders all learn from him how to hold the people down in other to stay in power. They are following his style of leadership.

Cuddly protests?
