Kuleba: Lukashenka’s ‘inauguration’ does not mean he is recognized as legitimate president of Belarus

Ukraine joins growing list of countries not recognizing the Lukashenka presidency.

KYIV – The inauguration of Alyaksandr Lukashenka does not mean he is recognized as the legitimate president of Belarus, said Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

“Ukraine has never in any way interfered in the internal affairs of Belarus and will always support the Belarusian people. Considering the course of the election campaign in Belarus and subsequent events, today’s ‘inauguration’ of Alexander Lukashenko does not mean his recognition as the legitimate head of the Belarusian state,” Mr. Kuleba wrote on Twitter on September 23.
