January 20, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Belarus\u2019 growing military ties with Russia pose long-term security risks in the region, Lithuanian President Gitanas Naus\u0117da has said, calling on the European Union to impose the same restrictive policies on Minsk as on Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician made this statement while responding to Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja at a discussion that took place today at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos (Switzerland).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU is debating how tough its policy toward Belarus should be, Naus\u0117da said, noting that Minsk\u2019s deployment of Russia\u2019s Oreshnik missile system, tactical nuclear weapons and plans to construct a new nuclear reactor with Moscow\u2019s make a strong case for a tough approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka’s regime also continues to imprison people on politically motivated charges despite ongoing contacts with Washington and pardons to designated political prisoners, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
