According to Reference News, TASS quoted the German magazine Der Spiegel on July 27:German Foreign Minister Bernd Bergböck warned Belarusian Foreign Minister Sergey Ryzhenkov that relations between the two countries would face serious consequences if Belarus carried out the death sentence imposed on a German citizen who had engaged in terrorist activities in Belarus.

According to reports, in a letter to Rezhenkov in early July, Berbock called on Belarus to ensure the fairness of the appeal process and stop the execution of the sentence. She wrote that the execution of the death penalty would have serious consequences for the relations between the two countries. However, the German Foreign Minister did not receive a response from the Belarusian side.

According to reports, the Minsk Regional Court of Belarus found in its ruling that German citizen Rico Krieger was guilty of cooperating with foreign security agencies to carry out terrorist activities. His crimes also include carrying out acts clearly intended to undermine Belarus' national security, engaging in espionage activities, establishing or participating in extremist organizations, illegally storing and carrying explosives, and deliberately destroying roads with the possibility of causing serious consequences such as death.

Krieger did not appeal the White Court's ruling, and the judgment has already taken effect.

According to a report by the Russian Satellite News Agency on July 26,Rico Krieger, a German citizen sentenced to death in Belarus, said he hoped Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko would pardon him.

According to reports, Krieg said in an interview with Belarusian Channel One: "Time is not in my favor now. The sentence may be executed at any time... I regret everything I have done every minute and every second. I feel a little relieved that (the explosion at the train station near Minsk) did not cause any casualties. I very much hope that Belarusian President Lukashenko will forgive and pardon me."

Belarusian media reported that Krieger had taken photos of the Iskander missile launcher for the Ukrainian State Security Service in Belarus.

"I was contacted by the Ukrainian State Security Service ... they sent me the coordinates where the filming took place," Krieger said.

Krieger also admitted that in October last year, he placed a backpack taken from a secret room on the platform of a railway station near Minsk at the instruction of the Ukrainian National Security Service, after which an explosion occurred there. "The platform is also regularly used to transport military equipment."

According to a report on the website of the Russian newspaper "Moscow Komsomolets" on July 21,Krieger worked at the US Embassy in Berlin for three years (there are reports that he was not engaged in diplomatic work there, but as an armed personnel), and then worked at the Red Cross for two years. After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict began, Krieger joined the so-called Kastus Kalinovsky Regiment, which was mainly composed of Belarusian mercenaries and fought against Russia in Ukraine.

According to CCTV News, on July 13 local time, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that Ukraine has completely withdrawn its previously deployed armed forces and reinforcements from the Belarus-Ukraine border area. There are currently no complicated situations between Belarus and Ukraine, and Belarus hopes that there will be no complicated situations in the future. Lukashenko stressed that he has ordered the Belarusian troops temporarily deployed on the southern border to be withdrawn to their permanent locations to avoid any unnecessary actions.

The Belarusian Ministry of Defense announced that day that Lukashenko had ordered the withdrawal of Belarusian troops temporarily deployed on the southern border to their permanent locations to avoid any unnecessary actions. The Belarusian Ministry of Defense emphasized that this order was issued after the tension on the Belarusian-Ukrainian border was resolved and Ukraine withdrew its troops. Previously, Belarus mobilized border guards and army troops including the 56th Air Defense Missile Regiment to strengthen border security.

Lukashenko also said that on the Ukrainian issue, dialogue is needed to avoid escalation of the situation, and Russia is willing to sit at the negotiating table for dialogue, discussion and agreement. But so far, it can be seen from the just-concluded NATO summit that Ukraine will continue to fight under the impetus of NATO. Lukashenko said that he will discuss these issues with Russian President Putin in the near future and consider how to proceed.

According to CCTV News, on March 23, 2024 local time,Russian presidential spokesman Peskov said that Putin had a phone call with Belarusian President Lukashenko and both sides confirmed their willingness to cooperate in combating terrorism.
