<entity_0> are foreign relations between <entity_2> and <entity_1>. <entity_1>'s border with <entity_2> is the country's longest border. The current territories of both countries were part of the Kingdom of <entity_1>, Grand Duchy of <entity_1> (and subsequently the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth), the Russian Empire, LitBel and, ultimately, the Soviet Union (into which <entity_2> was incorporated following World War I and <entity_1> following World War II). On 20 December 1991, the Supreme Council of <entity_1> recognized the independence of <entity_2>, with the same happening vice versa seven days later. The <entity_2>–<entity_1> border is defined by a February 1995 treaty, with the ground demarcation of the border being completed in 2007. Each country hosts opposition figures for the other, with <entity_2> sheltering coup-leader Vladimir Uskhopchik and <entity_1> harboring Belarusian opposition figures. Following the Lukashenko government's crackdown after the disputed 2020 <entity_2> Presidential elections, which were widely regarded as unfree and unfair, Belarusian opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya fled to <entity_1>. Two days later on August 14, <entity_1> became the first EU state to openly reject the legitimacy of Alexander Lukashenko as the President of <entity_2>.
