United Kingdom temporarily calls Ambassador to Belarus
The United Kingdom has temporarily convened its Ambassador to Belarus in response to the Lukashenko government's decision to expel 35 diplomats from neighbouring Poland and Lithuania.
The Minsk authorities asked the two countries to reduce the number of diplomatic officials they had in Belarus on Friday amid continuing political unrest following the disputed re-election of President Alexander Lukashenko .
Dominic Raab , the British Foreign Secretary, tweeted on Friday evening: "[The United Kingdom] condemns the decision by Belarus to expel Polish and Lithuanian diplomats. It is totally unjustified and will only isolate the Belarusian people. In solidarity, we are temporarily calling back our Ambassador for consultations on the situation in Belarus. ”
