Germany says #Merkel did not speak to #Belarus leader
The Belarusian leader faces the biggest challenge to his 26-year rule amid protests and strikes against his declaration that he won the election.
“Yesterday Merkel called, ‘I want to talk,’” Interfax news agency quoted Lukashenko as saying on Monday.
“Such a conversation between Merkel and Lukashenko has not taken place since the elections,” the spokesman told Reuters.
Lukashenko faces the threat of European Union sanctions after a crackdown on protests following what demonstrators say was his rigged re-election victory last week. He denies losing, citing official results that gave him just over 80% of the vote.
