Belarus pulls out of information cooperation agreement with Ukraine
June 30, BPN. On June 28, Belarusian Prime Minister Raman Hałoŭčanka signed government directive No 422 terminating an information cooperation agreement with Ukraine.
The agreement dates back to 1998.
A number of related government directives also lost their legal force. The government instructed the foreign ministry to notify Kyiv.
Earlier, Ukraine approved the termination of a pension agreement with Belarus, while Belarus terminated an information protection agreement.
In July 2022, Ukraine terminated an agreement on inland waterways navigation and in February 2023, a search and rescue agreement.
On May 6, the Ukrainian government also withdrew from two treaties with Belarus: a veterinary agreement dating back to August 2002 and a plant quarantine and protection agreement signed in October 2013.
Less than a week later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky approved Kyiv’s withdrawal from a memorandum on border protection cooperation between Ukraine, Belarus and Russia signed in 1994.
In February 2022, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine. Authorities in Minsk denied Belarusian army troops’ involvement in combat operations on the Russian side. However, Belarus allowed Russian troops and weapons to move freely through the country, use its airspace, refuel and store military equipment and attack Ukraine from its territory.
