Belarus backs the territorial integrity of Ukraine and considers Donbas its integral part, Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei said.

"The president of Belarus has made a definite statement on this matter: the Donetsk and Luhansk regions have always been and will stay part of Ukraine, and that about sums it all up," he told a briefing he gave jointly with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin in Kyiv on Wednesday.
