Lukashenko: organizing protests in Belarus, the West tried to close the belt around Russia 
Western countries, encouraging protests in Belarus, tried to close Russia. This was stated by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko in an interview with the Russian magazine National Defense.
According to the Belarusian leader, new details and facts related to the protest actions in the country continue to appear. In particular, the authorities are trying to find out what role Ukraine, Latvia, Poland and Germany played in what happened.
“In the process, we realized that this was not a“ color revolution ”at all, it was a chosen moment. The goal, the global goal is the same – to close this belt, “Lukashenko stressed.
On August 9, 2020, presidential elections were held in Belarus. The CEC announced that Alexander Lukashenko, who ran for a sixth term, won 80 percent of the vote. This sparked massive protests that lasted several months. Lukashenka claimed that the West was behind them and wanted to destroy Belarus. He also accused Ukraine of involvement in the unrest organizations.
