Belarus supports Ukraine's territorial integrity and will never allow other states to carry out aggression against it from Belarusian soil, Belarusian Ambassador to Kyiv Valentin Velichko said.
“For us, Ukraine isn’t only a good and reliable neighbor, but also a kin country that finds itself in difficult circumstances. However, I’ll emphasize it at once, head of our state said that Belarus would never opt for aggression,” Velichko said in an interview with ‘Ukraina Dyplomatychna’ (diplomatic Ukraine) magazine.
The interview was posted on the website of Belarusian Foreign Ministry.
The ambassador also noted that “Belarus will never allow other counties to bring troops in your country [Ukraine] from its [Belarusian] soil.”
“We support Ukraine as an integral unitary state in terms of the current Constitution that excludes federalization,” the diplomat said.
He also reminded that consultative trilateral meetings are being constantly held in Minsk to resolve the situation in Ukraine’s south-east.
“Belarus is ready to create favorable conditions for negotiations and consultations in this regard. The policy of peace and benevolence between our countries isn’t in doubt, and it is becoming more positive and palpable, which has been noted by international organizations,” Belarusian diplomat said.
