The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is concerned about "the harsh and disproportionate" reply from the Belarussian Foreign Ministry to a statement by the European Union and a number of European countries on the Belarus-Poland issue.
"Ukraine gives special attention to the provision of democracy and fundamental human rights and freedoms, including rights of national minorities, in Europe and the CIS. It thinks that pressure and interference by the authorities of any country in the legal activities of non-governmental organizations and the media are impermissible," says a ministry commentary released on Thursday.
The ministry reaffirmed Ukraine's policy of friendly and constructive cooperation with Belarus and an open dialog in all areas of relations.
