Pavel Sharoiko, a Ukraine national and a Ukrainian Radio correspondent in Belarus has been detained in Belarus, according to the Facebook post published by Zurab Alasania, chairman of Ukraine's National Public TV and Radio Company. 

"The Embassy of Belarus is escaping to reply to our official inquiries at the moment," Alasania wrote. He added that unofficial reports suggest Sharoiko is accused of espionage.

Belarusian MFA spokesperson Dzmitry Mironchyk has declined a comment to Euroradio on this situation.
