He said this during a press conference following talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
“I think only a peaceful solution to the current crisis in Belarus is possible, it is necessary to hold new elections with the serious presence of international observers,” Pompeo quoted TASS as saying.
Earlier, Pompeo called the elections in Belarus unfree and unfair.
He called on the Belarusian authorities to refrain from violence and allow citizens to "participate in peaceful assemblies."
