Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin

"The stay of Ukrainian citizens on the territory of Belarus is likely to be dangerous and we will talk about this with Minsk. We understand that Russian authorities are operating on the territory of Belarus," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin told a Polish newspaper. The interview was published on the official website of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.

According to Klimkin, Russia is present in Belarus in the security sphere, although "bilateral, political and economic relations do not have major problems".

At the same time, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister did not provide any evidence of a threat to Ukrainian citizens from Russia.
