Ukraine criticizes Belarus

Ukraine has sided with Poland in its dispute with Belarus. The Ukrainian foreign ministry expressed concern over what it called was a harsh and improper reaction of Belarus when Kiev supported the EU criticism of repressions against ethnic Poles.

It is inadmissible for the government to exert pressure on civic organizations and media, the Ukrainian foreign ministry declared. This is the first time that Ukraine took an official stand on the on-going conflict between Poland and Belarus over the persecution of ethnic Poles in Belarus.
