MOSCOW—Russia’s foreign minister told Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on Nov. 26 to honor agreements with the Kremlin and press ahead with constitutional reforms to defuse a political crisis after months of protests.
Lukashenko, who faces calls to step down following an Aug. 9 presidential election which protesters say was rigged, promised during talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sept. 14 that he would reform Belarus’s constitution.
