She noted that the European Union calls on the leadership of Belarus to renounce violence against peaceful demonstrators and supports an inclusive dialogue in the country.

Earlier, Lukashenko asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to convey to German Chancellor Angela Merkel a request not to interfere in the affairs of Belarus. This was stated by Lukashenka's press secretary Natalya Eismont.

According to her, the main thing that Minsk wants is "so that the West does not support those who destabilize the situation in Belarus."
