France says Russia must exert pressure on Belarus

France’s foreign minister said on Sunday that Russia had to exert pressure on Belarus to end the migrant crisis.

“Russia must exert pressure on Belarus,” Jean-Yves Le Drian told LCI television, adding that President Vladimir Putin needed to come good on a promise to pressure Belarus during a phone call last week with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
