The press service of the Elysee Palace shared the details of the negotiations between the Presidents of France and Belarus Emmanuel Macron and Alexander Lukashenko. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
It is known that Macron called on Lukashenka to demand from the Russian Federation a complete withdrawal of troops from the territory of Belarus. He also stressed the need for cooperation with “the international community to carry out operations to provide humanitarian assistance to the Ukrainian people.”
