SOLNECHNOGORSK (Moscow region), 23 Aug – RIA Novosti. It is impossible to prove without independent observers that Alexander Lukashenko did not win the presidential election, said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrovspeaking at the forum “Territory of Meanings.” “In the absence of those observers whom the West considers independent, it is very difficult to convince someone that the result of the presidential election was diametrically opposite to what was announced. Now I am not even talking about the number, but about There could have been a different percentage, but it is impossible to prove that President Lukashenko did not win these elections without accepting his invitation. This opportunity was ignored, I believe it was done in vain, it was a big mistake, ” – the minister noted. Massive protest actions of the opposition began throughout Belarus on August 9, after the presidential elections, which were won for the sixth time by the current Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko – according to the CEC, he gained 80.1% of the vote. The opposition believes that it won the elections Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, not Lukashenka. In the first days, the actions were suppressed by the security forces; against the protesters who did not agree with the results, they used tear gas, water cannons, stun grenades, and rubber bullets. Then the law enforcement agencies stopped dispersing the rallies and using force. According to official data, over 6.7 thousand people were detained in the first days. As reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the republic, hundreds of people were injured during the riots, among them over 120 law enforcement officers, three protesters died.
