Lukashenko comments on EU’s sanctions policy

MINSK, 31 July (BelTA) - Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko commented on the European Union's sanction pressure as he met with heads of Belarus’ diplomatic missions in Minsk on 31 July, BelTA has learned.

“Since 2020, the European Union has produced 18 sanction packages, though the pace has somehow slowed down. In 2022, they adopted five, then four, then three packages. This year, there has been just one so far. Have they run out of things to ban? Or have they realized they’re shooting themselves in the foot? Probably both,” the head of state said.

“Their ‘sanctions-led democratization’ strategy has failed. You will soon see competition emerge among new policy concepts. Among them, reasoned voices of those you’ve engaged with must be heard,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
