The US Department of Finance issued a new package of sanctions against Belarus. This is stated in a statement on the site.
20 individuals entered it, 12 organizations and three aircraft. In particular, measures will be introduced against Dmitry Lukashenko – the Middle Son of the President of Belarus, who leads sports projects. Among the legal entities against which sanctions are introduced – manufacturers of potash fertilizers, the carrier “TransVaExport”, the presidential sports club and the tour operator “Centerkurort”.
The fact that the United States in collaboration with the European Union is preparing an additional package of sanctions against Belarus, previously stated US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. According to him, the measures will be introduced in connection with the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border, in whose escalation is blamed personally Alexander Lukashenko.
According to the European authorities, in exchange for the crisis permit, the Belarusian leader requires recognizing the legitimacy of its power, as well as to remove all Western sanctions from Belarus.
