The sides exchanged opinions about the current situation in Belarus, BelTA has learned. The Russian side emphasized it is inadmissible to attempt to pressure Minsk through sanctions and politics in order to undermine the establishment of a mutually respectful dialogue between the government and the society in the country. Russia warned the USA and the European Union against any forms of interference in Belarus' internal affairs, including open calls from some capital cities to stage antigovernment rallies.
