Situation in Belarus US and Russia support dialogue Dialogue President Lukashenko's departure date is August 26, 7:46
Senior American and Russian officials have met over the turmoil in Belarus. The two countries are on track to encourage dialogue between the Belarusian administration and the anti-politics, and attention is being paid to the appearance of President Lukashenko, who refused the dialogue.
Deputy Secretary of State Vegan of the United States and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov met on the 25th in Moscow over the situation of Belarus.
According to the local US embassy, Vice-Minister Vegan accused Lukashenko's administration of "violence" against participants in a protest that began in Belarus after the presidential election on 9th of this month. In addition, he said that he expressed his willingness to establish a forum for dialogue between the administration and anti-government groups, as he announced that he would support the sovereignty of Belarus and the self-determination of the people.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov also said in a state television interview after the meeting that "the wise Belarusian people would create a forum for dialogue," indicating their support for a dialogue solution.
While both the United States and Russia have been able to move in line by supporting the dialogue with the administration, which the anti-politicians have proposed, President Lukashenko, who has so far refused the dialogue, is paying attention.
