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.

      Belarus will not get away from sanctions anywhere, like Russia. And Lukashenka is satisfied with his multi-vector approach and it is time to decide on “ours” and “yours”. If there is a Union, then it is necessary to formalize it and become a single state with Russia.

        The union is formed, but it is not clear who is slowing down integration processes more.
        And it’s a very big question, who, in the case of a united state, can become president.
        Who can regard our "great" government as a reliable partner and an economic situation stable

        For reference, the Republic of Belarus last year produced 50 thousand tractors of various classes and sold them to 72nd countries of the world, and we produced 4 thousand tractors at 10 plants sad

          And how much Belarus produced kiwi and papaya and exported it to Russia, taking first place in their imports, undermining Russia's retaliatory sanctions, do not want to give numbers? Putin again could not stand it and once again poked Rygoritch at the last meeting in Minsk.

        And who will be the president of the union? Who will play the main violin in the Union? That's when this issue is resolved, when the Belarusian and Russian elites sort it out, share their power in a new union state, then everything will be done.

That there are accusations of infringement of freedoms to overthrow the regimes, and after the overthrow there are no more accusations of infringement of rights.

    a ban on visiting the United States, against the president of Belarus and a number of other representatives of the Belarusian authorities

    They are trying to completely tear Rygorich away from Russia, they didn’t deploy the Russian base, get the cookie, Crimea, Abkhazia, South Ossetia didn’t recognize, get the second, Donbass condemned, eat the third ... But they don’t cancel the sanctions until the end, such sadness, but you don’t want to only to bring coffee in buckets at the Minsk talks, and so I want to bring fate on an equal footing ...

    Who would doubt that. Old Man softly spreads everything. And he looks into everyone’s eyes like a beaten dog. Ours and yours and everyone else. Americans are not blind either. And indeed it is time for him to head the column of prostitutes. On providing the site for the Minsk agreements, he decided to earn international authority, and is trying to yap at Russia, albeit in a whisper.

    It’s time for us to get used to the fact that Russia has neither brothers nor sisters and mother Russia alone and does not hope for anyone, but this atavism that Belarus is a union power, like many former union republics, is just our imaginary illusion. And no one would have caused such a resonance if the course towards rapprochement with Russia were constantly in the political circles of Belarus.
    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.

    Moscow is the third Rome, and the fourth will never happen!
    The USA is a roguish under-state, a kind of Carthage of our day.
    Carthage must be destroyed!

    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? ..
    Read for cooperation and friendship with Russia. And the Americans will squeeze the EU and they will restore all sanctions against Belarus. It will not work for Lukashenko, both yours and ours, until they crush him. hi

    If there is a Union, then it is necessary to formalize it and become a single state with Russia.

    The union is formed, but it is not clear who is slowing down integration processes more.
    And it’s a very big question, who, in the case of a united state, can become president.
    Who can regard our "great" government as a reliable partner and an economic situation stable

    For reference, the Republic of Belarus last year produced 50 thousand tractors of various classes and sold them to 72nd countries of the world, and we produced 4 thousand tractors at 10 plants sad

    Oh, what beautiful statistical data and why don’t you bring the second part ... how much of all the products sold? )))

    On the whole, of course, everyone understands the situation in Belarus and its difficulties! Therefore, Vladimir Putin gently hinted to Grygorich about the supply of kiwi, salmon, and the like from Belarus to Russia. products! At the same time, Belarus, unlike Ukraine, did not cave in before the states and in cases of military conflict it will always be with Russia!

      Neither Belarus nor other CSTO countries took a tough stance with regard to Turkey ... But it seems that something is being said about collective security ...
      All allies in their own way understand the terms mutual assistance, mutual benefit - give Russia, and they take it, protect Russia, and they are in the bushes ...
      Although the Russian Belarusian people cannot be blamed for cowardice - the great partisan region ...

      These figures are not an indicator. Demand for tractors has now fallen. Often, MTZ works purely at the warehouse. In Belarus, in the beginning they do it, and then they think where to sell it all. So the state invested a lot of money in the modernization of the woodworking industry and in cement factories, but the output turned out that no one needed these products in such quantity and for such a price.
