\n Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Belarus\u2019s embattled President Alexander Lukashenko that Moscow stands ready to assist in his efforts to maintain power, the Kremlin said.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Kremlin said that the Russian president had told Lukashenko while speaking by phone that he would offer Lukashenko military help if necessary, citing a collective military pact that it planned to follow.<\/p>\n

The statement also alleged that external pressure was being app<\/a>lied to the Eastern European country, without saying where from.<\/p>\n

Putin stopped short of publicly offering his support for the embattled leader, however, and Russian military vehicles or soldiers have not been spotted on the streets of Belarus\u2019 capitol where protests have been taking place.<\/p>\n

Lukashenko spent the weekend appealing to Putin by phone, according to the New York Times, speaking twice to the Russian leader on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

The move was a shift from his most recent public statements on Russia. For weeks, Lukashenko has publicly claimed that Russia was trying to overthrow him as his public standing in the country worsened.<\/p>\n

Lukashenko told Belta, a Belarusian state news<\/a> agency, that he had secured a pledge from Putin for \u201ccomprehensive assistance will be provided to ensure the security of the Republic of Belarus,\u201d if needed.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a rally of his supporters in Minsk on Sunday, Lukashenko rejected calls to hold a new presidential election, which has been marred by accusations of fraud and rigging.<\/p>\n

Lukashenko, widely known as \u201cEurope\u2019s last dictator,\u201d has ruled Belarus for 26 years. While he had faced electoral challenges before, none were as successful as 37-year-old Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.<\/p>\n

Tsikhanouskaya, Lukashenko\u2019s 2020 opposition candidate, has fled to Lithuania where she continues to urge followers to keep up the protests.<\/p>\n

Lukashenko, for his part, denies any wrongdoing in rigging the widely-disputed election where he took 80 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n

Asked about the unrest in the country, where an estimated 200,000 people have taken to the streets demanding Lukashenko\u2019s resignation, President Trump said Monday, \u201cThat\u2019s a terrible situation, Belarus. We\u2019ll be following it very closely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, the Trump administration promised that the US would deliver freedom to Belarus, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying while in Prague, \u201cWe will continue to speak about the risks to the Belarusian people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want them to have freedom in the same way that people do across the world,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia continues to seek to undermine your democracy, your security through disinformation campaigns and through cyberattacks. It\u2019s even tried to rewrite your history,\u201d Pompeo said.<\/p>\n
