Ukraine will break diplomatic relations with Belarus if its troops cross the border to support the Russian invasion.

"Belarus is an accomplice to the crime of aggression, no one questions this issue. We broke diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation immediately after the start of the full-scale attack. They will also be broken with Belarus if the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus cross the border of Ukraine," Dmytro Kuleba, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in an interview with Forbes.

The minister also explained that the option of transit of Ukrainian grain through the territory of Belarus was considered exclusively as a way of last hope if nothing else would work.

"No one wanted to have anything to do with Minsk, which is an accomplice in aggression, on any trade issues. But logisticians and private investors (traders) worked very well to expand the possibilities of land routes through the EU countries. There was progress in the negotiations about the Sea route, therefore, the emergency Belarusian route option is no longer on the agenda," he said.

The self-proclaimed president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, said earlier that he didn’t want to fight against Ukraine, and it is alleged that Kyiv is interested in the direct entry of Belarus into the war.

Lukashenko also accused Ukraine of launching missiles on the territory of Belarus and ordered his military to "target" the decision-making centres in the capitals of Minsk's opponents.
