“Nobody is interested in making a new Ukraine out of Belarus. In this conflict, not Europe and Russia are opposing each other, but the Belarusian people are opposing their leaders, ”the diplomat wrote in an author's article for Le Journal du Dimanche.

He noted that protesters in Belarus do not use EU flags.

Borrell also expressed the opinion that the solution to the crisis in Belarus should take place under the auspices of the OSCE.
