Ryzhenkov describes EU border policy, sanctions as self-isolation

MINSK, 27 September (BelTA) – The European Union’s political and military maneuvering on the border and sanctions are measures of severe self-isolation, Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxim Ryzhenkov said as he addressed the plenary meeting of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York on 27 September, BelTA has learned.

Maxim Ryzhenkov stated that by building barriers, both physical and political, ideological, and ultimately civilizational, the EU has isolated itself not from Belarus and Russia, but from the Global Majority.
“Therefore, in essence, all these political and military maneuvering by the EU on the border, along with economic sanctions, are measures of severe self-isolation, that are driving the EU countries even deeper into an internal economic and political crisis. Let me reiterate – self-isolation,” the diplomat said. “If the European elites intend to persist on this way, it will get even worse for the peoples of Europe. However, all these problems can be solved if instead of self-isolation Europe opts for the concept of Eurasian cooperation and security on our vast continent.”
