Belarus' leader Alexander Lukashenko and Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel have held a phone talk, social media of Belarus' state reporters said on Monday, amid a migrant crisis at the Polish border with the ex-Soviet state.

No further details were provided.

The talks are the first contact between the Belarusian president and a western leader after presidential elections in Belarus in August 2020, at which Lukashenko claimed victory, igniting the biggest street protests in the history of the state.
