Kyiv is making claims against Belarus for its vote at the UN on Crimea, but for some reason the Ukrainian authorities do not risk criticizing India and China, who are doing the same.

Ruslan Bortnik, director of the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Analysis and Management, said this at a press conference in Kyiv, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“It seems to me that the aggravation of relations between Ukraine and Belarus arose absolutely artificially - as an alleged reaction to the detention [of a Ukrainian spy in Minsk] or Belarus’ vote in the UN Third Committee on the Crimea resolution,” the political scientist said.
At the same time, he recalled that Belarus traditionally votes this way.
“Such monsters as India and China voted against the Ukrainian resolution,” Bortnik added. – But for some reason I don’t see Irina Gerashchenko’s statements that China stuck a knife in the back for the fourth time. Well, there are no such statements.”
As PolitNavigator reported, Vice Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Irina Gerashchenko reproached Belarus for the “knife in the back” Ukraine when voting in the UN committee.
