The Ministry has decided to call Ukraine's Ambassador to Belarus, Igor Kizim, for consultations after the dictator Lukashenko met with the leader of the so-called "DNR", Denis Pushilin.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that they consider the meeting with a representative of the Russian occupation administration, who is evading Ukrainian investigation for committing serious crimes and is under Ukrainian and international sanctions, another hostile act by the Republic of Belarus aimed at supporting the aggressor state of Russia.

Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has decided to call Ukraine’s Ambassador to Belarus, Igor Kizim, for consultations.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated that they condemn the meeting between Lukashenko and Pushilin, as it is an attempt to legitimize “this representative of the Russian occupation administration in Donetsk”.

As previously reported, on April 18, Belarusian pro-government TV channel “Pul Pervogo”  published a photo and of the meeting between Lukashenko and puppet leader of the so-called “DNR” Pushilin. Lukashenko offered Donetsk assistance from Belarus in “restoring and normalizing” the lives of people in the Ukrainian region under Russian occupation.
