“The resolution of the Lithuanian Seimas on the agreements between Russia and Belarus is a direct and manifest interference in the affairs of sovereign states,” he told reporters.
According to L. Sluckis, “Lithuanian parliamentarians assumed the right to speak on behalf of the Belarusian nation, which no one granted them.”
“We urge our colleagues at Seimas to give Belarusians themselves the opportunity to deal with what is happening in their country, without pressure or suggestions from outside.” Such assessments and statements are far from helping to stabilize, but only further fuel the situation in Belarus, “he said.
The resolution calls the President of Belarus, Aliaksandr Lukashenko, an illegitimate leader, urging the international community to take any action to conclude new agreements with Russia as a crime against the nation, a de facto annexation of the country.
Russia is required not to interfere in Belarus’ domestic and foreign policy and to impose additional sanctions on Russia and the Belarusian regime in the event of an attempt to “limit the sovereignty of the country” against the will of the Belarusian people.
The international community is also called upon to offer the Belarusian people and their legal representatives a variety of political, economic, financial, visa and other assistance.
Belarus has been protesting for a month since the August 9 presidential elections, which were won by authoritarian leader Lukashenko, who has ruled the country since 1994. The opposition and Western countries consider these elections to be rigged.
Mass protests in the country are being forcibly suppressed and the European Union is considering imposing sanctions on regime officials responsible for the violence and electoral fraud.
