Closing the borders with Belarus
On July 2, Alexander Lukashenko, who considers himself the legitimate president of Belarus, said he had instructed border troops to completely close the border with Ukraine. According to him, this decision was made in connection with the huge number of weapons that allegedly come from Ukraine to Belarus.
The Foreign Ministry rejected Lukashenko’s allegations of alleged arms supplies and any interference in the country’s internal affairs.
On May 26, Ukraine suspended flights to Belarus, and on May 29, Belarusian aircraft were banned from using Ukrainian airspace.
The decision came after an incident involving the forced landing of a Ryanair plane in Minsk and the detention of journalist and blogger Roman Protasevich and his companion Sofia Sapega on board.
