Germany’s top diplomat vows to keep up pressure on Łukašenka

November 27, Pozirk. Germany will continue pressure on Alaksandar Łukašenka’s regime, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said after meeting Belarusian opposition leader Śviatłana Cichanoŭskaja yesterday in Berlin.
“Germany stands with your people, civil society and the exile community. They can count on us in their struggle for freedom,” he said on X, calling for the release of all jailed Belarusian regime critics.
The fate of Belarus depends on the current negotiations on Ukraine, and any peace must be reached on Ukrainian terms, Cichanoŭskaja said at the meeting, according to her aide Franak Viačorka. The politician stressed that restoring Belarusian sovereignty requires ending Moscow’s control and the withdrawal of Russian troops and nuclear weapons from Belarus.
The sides also discussed Minsk’s hybrid attacks targeting Poland and Lithuania and ways to prevent them, including sanctions.
Cichanoŭskaja is visiting Germany from November 25 to 28 at Wadephul’s invitation. Yesterday, she met Bundestag President Julia Klöckner.
