Belarus, an ally of Russia, announced on Wednesday the expulsion of most Ukrainian diplomats from its territory, accusing Kiev of “unfriendly” actions and “interference” in its affairs.
“Belarus has decided to reduce the number of Ukrainian diplomats on its territory. This measure is intended to put an end to the non-diplomatic activities of a number of staff members of Ukrainian diplomatic institutions,” announced Foreign Ministry spokesman Anatoli Glaz.
Specifically, only the Ukrainian ambassador and four diplomats will remain in Minsk. Until now, more than 20 people worked at the embassy.
The former Soviet republic, ruled by an iron fist since 1994 by Alexander Lukashenko, is Russia's main ally and serves as a rear base for Moscow's forces in their offensive in northern Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials have accused Minsk of preparing to send their own troops to Ukraine, which Belarus denies.
