The delegation of the Ukrainian tripartite contact group will not attend the talks if the talks are held in Minsk after the lifting of restrictions on the coronavirus.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov. According to him, the decision was made due to the hostile rhetoric of Belarus towards Ukraine.

He said the parties would have to look for another country and another city for the meeting.

The deputy prime minister said Belarus was under Russian influence and that Kyiv did not trust the country.
