Putin called the Belarusian authorities to a dialogue with the opposition. That's what Lukashenko answered
Alexander Lukashenko in an interview with BBC said that he was ready to sit down at the negotiating table with Svetlana Tikhanovskaya only after Vladimir Putin began negotiations with Alexei Navalny. At the same time, Lukashenko expressed the opinion that Putin would never do this, since for him Navalny is not an oppositionist, but "a traitor to the interests of Russia." Lukashenko made such a statement after Putin called on the authorities of Belarus to the dialogue with the opposition.
