The Ukrainian foreign minister announced that the Lukashenko regime would be held accountable.

A strategy for Ukraine’s relations with Belarus is already being developed. Once the document is finalized, it will be presented to members of parliament. This was announced by Acting Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga during his address to the Verkhovna Rada as a nominee for the position, according to the news agency “Ukrinform”.

According to Andriy Sibiga, the document will first be presented to the parliamentary committee on foreign policy and interparliamentary cooperation, after which other deputies will be briefed on its contents.

Sibiga emphasized that Belarus continues to pose a threat to the security of Ukraine and Europe. He also stated that Belarus bears responsibility, along with Russia, for the aggression against Ukraine, and that the regime of Alexander Lukashenko, in his opinion, must be held accountable.

The diplomat noted that Ukraine has already developed key approaches to its policy toward Belarus. According to him, the Ukrainian authorities have established cooperation with Belarusian democratic forces. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also appointed an ambassador-at-large responsible for Belarusian affairs.

Sibiga stated that this area of focus will continue to be strengthened at the institutional level.

Later that same day, the Verkhovna Rada appointed Andriy Sibiga as Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
