September 28, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> The Lithuanian foreign ministry has not received any of the proposals that were mentioned in the Belarusian foreign minister’s article, LRT<\/em> reported, citing the BNS<\/em> news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minsk continues to repress civil society, keeps more than 1,300 political prisoners under harsh conditions, supports Russia’s illegal aggression against Ukraine, helps Russia circumvent Western sanctions, spreads disinformation and carries out hybrid attacks, the ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To normalize relations, the Belarusian government must hold free and fair elections, take responsibility for reprisals and pay compensation to the victims in Belarus and Ukraine, it said. Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka’s regime is well aware of the conditions required for a d\u00e9tente, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the article published by SB. Belarus Segodnya<\/em> on September 26, Belarusian Foreign Minister Maksim Ry\u017eanko\u016d called for a reset of relations with Vilnius. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He mentioned Lithuania’s supposed losses from the deteriorated relations, without explaining how it has affected Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lithuania’s position remains clear \u2013 it supports the Belarusian opposition, said Viktorija \u010cmilyt\u0117-Nielsen, the speaker of the Seimas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has no reason to believe that the \u0141uka\u0161enka regime has stopped supporting Russia, she said, commenting on the article. Besides, it knows that Belarusian prisons are still holding journalists and opposition activists, she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
