The Zaporozhye region is suspending cooperation with Belarus because of its support for Russia in the war against Ukraine, the Zaporozhye regional military administration said on May 14.

We are talking about the suspension of ties in trade, economic, scientific, technical and cultural spheres.

Thus, the regional administration terminates the agreements of 2018 concluded with the Mogilev, Minsk, Gomel, Hrodna and Brest regional executive committees of Belarus.

The 1993 agreement on economic cooperation between the Zaporozhye region and the Belarusian regions is also being terminated.

Alyaksandr Starukh, the head of Zaporizhzhya ABA, instructed to prepare documents on termination of cooperation.

Belarusian authorities have allowed Russia to use its territory to attack Ukraine from the north.

Since the beginning of the war, the Russians have used Belarusian airfields for flights and Belarusian sites for rocket attacks on Ukrainian cities.
