Minsk disappointed with prolongation of arms embargo against Belarus

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko

The European Union considers it necessary to extend restrictive measures against Belarus for another year. The corresponding decision was made on Monday by the Council of the European Union.

This statement was made by the press service of this international organization.



Restrictive measures, it was decided to extend until February 28, 2021. First of all, they relate to supplies weapons and equipment that the country's authorities can use for repression against opposition-minded citizens of Belarus. The exceptions are rifles, pistols and other biathlon equipment, which is allowed to be imported under separate permissions in a limited number.

Individual sanctions against four citizens of the country will also be extended: Yuri Sivakov, Viktor Sheiman, Dmitry Pavlyuchenko and Vladimir Naumov. In the European Union, they are suspected of having disappeared in 1999 and 2000 from two opposition representatives, a media official and an entrepreneur. Belorussian citizens who are under sanctions are forbidden to enter the territory of the EU countries. In addition, they are denied access to their assets located in the EU. These people have been under European sanctions since 2004.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus is disappointed with this step by European partners and consider it a relic of the past. They called on the EU to abandon the cliche and be guided by pragmatism towards Belarus.

Earlier, the EU supported sanctions against Alexander Lukashenko as against the "last dictator of Europe." In particular, he was denied entry to the Schengen countries. But then they decided to gradually weaken these sanctions.

Exceptionally something can sculpt in the inside of Belarus. But basically Lukashenko is an arrogant beggar and extortionist. Yes + even age, insanity is not childish ....

      Belarus, although Bela, but still Russia, if they had spoken there, like in Ukrii in a fictitious Bandera, then these Europeans would have changed their attitude, but for now, they speak Russian in Belarus, they have nowhere to go from sanctions, so that you need to rely only on yourself, on your cadres, on your talents. And who is there in this European Union who voted against, by name?

    Earlier, the EU supported sanctions against Alexander Lukashenko as against the "last dictator of Europe." In particular, he was denied entry to the Schengen countries. But then they decided to gradually weaken these sanctions.

    Well, they keep the "father" for one causal place, they expect indulgences from him for the internal "European opposition" and a more active distance from the creation of a single state with the Russian Federation. And he injects and wants to, but he is afraid of the people's anger / misunderstanding. So he tears a seat over two chairs, hiding behind the interests of the people. bully

And die out as a people, as a nation. Look at the statistics of Russia's population decline. Of course, it is the Ukrainians who are to blame, the Belarusians are to blame, "and we have nothing to do with it, but we have nothing to do with it."
    Brains need to be turned on at least once .... if they are, really.

    I look from the other side. The ban applies to weapons and special means that can be used against the opposition. What a dumb herd! Yes, water cannons and Dubia in Belarus will do it themselves!

    You can always come up with a reason. The reason for both delivery and failure is the same.

      Lukashenka never reaches that endless - "give me money and preferences, otherwise I will go to the West" they run into only "Okay, go away. But there will be no place in Rostov." And his dream "Kolya for the kingdom" has long become an obsession.

      Maybe your inferior Batka personally said, "Listen, inferior, I will appoint my son president, you tell everyone the same inferior, otherwise there is simply no one without you."
      And Yanukovych turned out to be as greedy and unprofitable as Putin, therefore, one in exile and the other made the world's largest and richest country a world outcast.
