MINSK, 17 August (BelTA) – The illegal sanctions enforced by the West against Belarus also have a disastrous effect on nations of other countries. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement in his videoconference speech during the third summit Voice of the Global South, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “For a number of years we’ve lived under unfair, barbaric sanctions, which not only affect our country but have a disastrous effect on your nations. Thus, restrictions on the export of Belarusian mineral fertilizers have aggravated the problems of food shortage and famine in the poorest countries.”
He stated that the West still provokes conflicts that lead to many millions of refugees and then cynically accuses the Global South and Belarus of the migration crisis. “However, the real reason is the extraction of resources and the enforcement of a system of inequitable exchange upon developing countries,” the Belarusian leader is convinced.
