Against the backdrop of protests in Minsk, Britain, Germany and other countries refused to consider Lukashenko the legal president of Belarus
Today's solemn ceremony of the inauguration of Alexander Lukashenko was held in Minsk without an official announcement , and the Goskanals, which by law had to broadcast it, instead showed the series. Lukashenko himself, on his secret inauguration, stated that this was his "convincing and fateful" victory . Immediately after that, thousands of citizens who did not agree with the undisguised deception from the authorities took to the streets of the cities of Belarus.
