French President Emmanuel Macron had a phone conversation with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, a day after the massive bombings by Moscow, which included the use of the hypersonic ballistic missile 'Kinzhal'. Macron emphasized the risks of Belarus's involvement in Russia's aggression against Ukraine and urged Lukashenko to take measures to improve relations with Europe. This is the first direct communication between the two leaders after four years of tensions, the last discussion taking place in 2020, when Macron called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Belarus. The official statement from the Belarusian presidency mentions that the discussion was initiated by the French side, addressing regional issues and Belarus's relations with the European Union, especially with France.
