EU prolongs sanctions against Belarus

February 26, Pozirk. The EU Council has prolonged restrictive measures linked to internal repression and Minsk’s support for Russia’s war against Ukraine for another year, until February 28, 2025.

“The EU is signaling to the political and economic actors responsible that their actions and support for the regime and to Russia come at a cost,” the Council said.

The individual restrictive measures include an asset freeze and travel ban against 233 individuals, including Alaksandar Łukašenka.

Belarus also remains subject to targeted economic sanctions, including restrictions in the financial sector, trade, dual-use goods, technology and telecommunication, energy, transport and others.
