US extends sanctions against the top leadership of Belarus
72
Unlike the European Union, the US authorities decided not to cancel the sanctions against the top leadership of Belarus. On Online The White House has published a report that restrictive measures, including a ban on visiting the United States, against the President of Belarus and a number of other representatives of the Belarusian authorities have been extended for another year.
On behalf of US President Barack Obama, the report says that such a decision was made in connection with the “continuing undermining of democratic principles in Belarus and influencing democratic institutions.” The statement of the White House states that a number of leading officials of the Republic of Belarus are involved in “political repression”, “are involved in corruption schemes” and “continue to pose an extraordinary threat to security”. For US security? ..
It is noteworthy that the decision to extend the sanctions appeared literally several hours after the statement of Alexander Lukashenko about the need to intensify the integration processes between Belarus and the Russian Federation. During the III Forum of the Regions of Belarus and Russia, the President of the Republic of Belarus noted the importance of such interaction in the conditions of the crisis.
Information Agency BelTA leads a fragment of Alexander Lukashenko's speech on the forum:
Lukashenko:
We must not allow a wedge to drive into our fraternal relations.
