You're reading: Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry indignant at Lukashenko’s statements

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry is indignant at statements made by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko about the Ukrainian leadership and believes they are unprecedented and improper.

"The accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant is a tragedy, which unites three neighboring and friendly nations – Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians – and the memory of the victims of nuclear catastrophe should be a consolidating link for our states. These were the considerations behind Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych’s invitations to his counterparts – the presidents of Russia and Belarus – to commemorate the victims of the Chornobyl explosion together on the very date, when the largest man-made disaster in the history of the humankind happened," the information policy department of Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The ministry has said that this event has nothing to do with politics.

The Foreign Ministry stressed that personal insults are not acceptable in communications between people, especially if the offensive statements concern public figures who represent a sovereign country and entire unions of countries.
