This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
“In this context, the participation of Svetlana Tikhanovskaya in the upcoming meeting of the ministers of the EU member states is very indicative, albeit in a kind of“ unofficial communication ”format.
We consider such a contact, if it takes place, as another evidence of the European Union's departure from earlier statements about the absence of geopolitics in the situation with Belarus and any parallels with the scenario of February 2014 in Ukraine, when a number of EU countries acted as so-called guarantors of the agreement between the authorities and the opposition. which was trampled on the next day, ”the message says.
The Russian Foreign Ministry called on the European Union to “reconsider this course”, which leads to “erosion of the international legal foundation of the world order,” and in the case of Belarus, prevents normalization in the country.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry Anatoly Glaz said that a possible meeting of the EU Foreign Ministers with Tikhanovskaya in Brussels is an open interference in the republic's affairs.
