EU extends sanctions against Belarus
The EU has extended sanctions against Belarus by one year, due to the country’s support for Russia’s war in Ukraine and continued repression of the opposition, the Union announced on Monday.
Since Belarusian leader Aleksandr Lukashenko, among other things, crushed protests against an election in 2020 that was rigged in Lukashenko’s favor, the EU has introduced sanctions in several rounds.
Lukashenko and over 190 others have been banned from entering the EU and their assets have been frozen.
