FM commented on Lithuania's appeal to ICC regarding Belarus

Belarus’ Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov commented on Lithuania's appeal to the International Criminal Court regarding Belarus, sb.by reports

Mr. Ryzhenkov noted, “Lithuania has committed another anti-Belarusian political action. The outgoing Lithuanian administration, which has not shied away from using the dirtiest methods contrary to international law, decided to use Western-controlled courts, the biased nature of which has long been obvious to everyone.”

The Foreign Minister added that Belarus had known about Vilnius' plans for a long time, “This was publicly announced by the President, speaking at a solemn event on the occasion of National Unity Day. We know very well why this is being done, and who supports all this.”

Mr. Ryzhenkov stressed, “It’s no need to be a recognised expert in the field of international law to understand the absurdity and farfetchedness of the accusations. The futility of Vilnius and its curators' attempts is obvious to us. We calmly look at this fuss and do not stop calling on our neighbours for prudence and adequacy.”
