The European Union has said it considers the Belarusian presidential election results “falsified,” and has refused to accept the outcome.

During a video conference convened by EU Vice President Josep Borrell on Friday, foreign ministers from the bloc spoke about sanctioning Belarus, and ways that the EU could support the Belarusian people.
