“Belarus Must Not Be Drawn into War” — Zelenskyy Announces New Sanctions

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed a new package of sanctions, which also includes measures against entities from Belarus. According to the Ukrainian leader, this step is a signal to partners about where pressure should be applied to reduce the intensity of the war.

“Russia has no goodwill. It must be compelled to take the steps necessary to reduce aggression, and let them later call these their ‘gestures of goodwill’. It is necessary that Belarus is not drawn into the war. It is necessary that there are no operations against other European countries. It is necessary that there is a достойный peace in Russia’s war against Ukraine”, he said.
