Thousands again on the streets in Minsk after unannounced swearing in of Belarusian President Lukashenko

Various European countries have also responded to the inauguration. “Even after this ceremony, Mr. Lukashenko cannot claim democratic legitimacy,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius reaffirmed his position that the elections were falsified. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs Tomas Petricek also agree. Russia does not want to respond. According to Kremlin press officer Dmitri Peskov, this is a “sovereign internal decision of the Belarusian authorities”.
