The document states that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine promptly took all necessary measures to verify information regarding the events taking place around the Belarusian diplomatic institution in Kyiv.

It has been established that the sanctioned public action in no way obstructs access to the office premises and territory of the Belarusian embassy in Ukraine or the exit beyond its boundaries by both embassy staff and visitors.

Law enforcement officers of Ukraine continue to carry out enhanced round-the-clock protection of the embassy, reports the MFA press service.

In addition, on Tuesday evening, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine staff met with representatives of Ukrainian law enforcement agencies and the All-Ukrainian youth civic organization "National Alliance."

The meeting with representatives of the aforementioned youth civic organization was used to explain international legal obligations regarding the uninterrupted functioning of the Belarusian diplomatic institution in Ukraine.

The matter is under the control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, notes the press service.

In addition, Ukraine has appealed to the Supreme Court of Belarus against the decision of the Minsk City Court, which on Tuesday refused to grant complaints for the release from arrest of five Ukrainians detained during a rally.

As Deputy Head of the press service of the Ukrainian MFA Dmytro Svystkov told Interfax-Ukraine, embassy representatives and lawyers filed a complaint that was registered with the Supreme Court of the Republic of Belarus on Wednesday.

As reported, on April 27 a Belarusian court sentenced three of five Ukrainian citizens belonging to the youth organization "National Alliance" and detained in Minsk during a rally near the building of the Belarusian president's administration to 10 days of arrest, another one to 15 days, and the fifth to 9 days.

Ukraine has repeatedly demanded the release of these citizens; the MFA sent two notes. On Tuesday, the Minsk city court refused the Ukrainian citizens a reduction of their arrest terms.
