"Golden words of the Ukrainian president!" - wrote Zakharova.
At the same time, she noted that "they describe the situation well, only not in a neighboring country, but in their own."
“How would the implementation of the Minsk Agreements progress if this statement by Zelensky concerned Ukraine, and not Belarus, which would figure out how to live on its own,” said a representative of the Foreign Ministry.
She added that "in general, it is not Ukrainian politicians with their sad experience of coups and the collapse of the country to advise anything."
Earlier, Zelensky, commenting on the protests that took place in Belarus against the background of the presidential elections, said that "it is already obvious that not everyone in the country agrees with the announced preliminary election results, and, as you know, any legitimacy arises solely from public trust."
On August 9, Belarus held elections for the head of state. After the closure of the polling stations, riots broke out in the country.
According to the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs, 39 security officials and 50 civilians were injured during the actions. About 3 thousand people were detained.
Protest actions took place in 33 settlements of the country.
According to the preliminary election results, the CEC said, Lukashenko is gaining 80.23% of the vote.
