Kuleba: Lukashenko, with his statement about Crimea, burned bridges in relations with Ukraine
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba said about burned bridges in relations with Belarus. The Foreign Minister's interview to the Latvian portal Sargs.lv was published on the ministry's website.
Kuleba recalled that President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko called Crimea de facto and de jure Russian. “With this statement, Lukashenka significantly burned all bridges in relations with Ukraine, making Belarus a country hostile to Ukraine,” the minister said.
The Foreign Minister also said that “the political statements of Minsk are part of Russia's aggressive foreign policy” … When asked if the Belarusian army could participate in a possible invasion of Ukraine, Kuleba replied: “We are considering this scenario at a very serious level. We do not rule out such a possibility. ”
In recent weeks, statements have been made in the West and in Kiev about the threat of an attack on Ukraine by Russia. Moscow replies that it has no aggressive plans.
