“I am absolutely convinced that all the talk that someone once allegedly or allegedly from the territory of Russia puts pressure on the election of Belarus has no basis,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Mezentsev noted that in any state the election campaign is accompanied by a struggle with the opposition.
“It’s completely natural and you shouldn’t just look for something unusual here,” the Russian ambassador added.
Earlier, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko announced his intention to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and discuss "interference in elections from abroad."
Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on Lukashenko’s words, said that Russia is not going to interfere in the electoral processes, especially those that take place in Belarus.
