Thus, last fall, Minsk declared Igor Skvortsov, Counselor at the Embassy of Ukraine in Belarus, persona non grata. The Committee of State Security of Belarus noted that Skvortsov coordinated the actions of the Ukrainian agent network in the republic. In particular, this network included Pavel Sharoiko, who worked in Belarus as a journalist. He was detained by the Belarusian special services, finding out that he was directly involved in the intelligence of Ukraine.
