Belarus is not a party to the peace negotiations.
Head of the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG) and first president of independent Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk says Minsk peace talks on Donbas may move to another location over the situation in Belarus.
"I think the Belarusian people will resolve this issue without us. We cannot interfere in their internal affairs. Belarus does not take part in the TCG. If there is no such opportunity to hold meetings there, we will look for another place. It wasn't Minsk where the first agreements were concluded. It was Geneva. We can ask a completely neutral state, for example Sweden. We can ask them. This is possible," he told UA: Ukrainian Radio in an interview.

Speaking about ongoing protests in Belarus, Kravchuk explained he could not give assessments since he was an official.
According to him, Ukrainians should not interfere in such issues.
"If they need help, it will be handled through requests, and Ukraine should provide it. There have been no such requests so far. Ukraine should accept any president, any council created in another state. Ukraine did not take part in this and respects any choice, respects the people [of Belarus]," Kravchuk added.
