The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Belarus called illegal new sanctions of the West. The application is published on the office website.
“New illegal sanctions of the United States, Canada and Great Britain against Belarusian officials and companies dated December 2, 2021 clearly demonstrate to what limits of cynicism and doubles can reach the militant countries in their vain efforts to put the countries and peoples on their knees” , – said in the Foreign Ministry.
Minsk called the insolvent arguments of supporters of sanctions about the fault of Belarus in the migration crisis at the borders of the European Union. The Foreign Ministry accused Western states in the destruction of peace and lifestyle in countries from which migrants come.
“We have repeatedly stated that adequate responses will follow all unfriendly antibelorological steps. The current round of sanctions is not an exception. Our country and the Belarusian people will not be able to dive with sanctions and restrictions,” the ministry said and called West to equal dialogue and mutually beneficial cooperation.
Earlier, the Belarusian Foreign Ministry promised that in response to Western sanctions, hard, asymmetric, but adequate measures were taken.
December 2, the EU adopted a fifth package of sanctions against Belarus due to the situation with migrants on the Polish-Belarusian border. The blacklist included more than 25 individuals and legal entities, including the Belavia airline and Grodno Nitrogen and BelarusNeft enterprises.
