Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Ireland believe that the European Union must impose the same sanctions against Belarus as against Russia. Polish radio reports that these countries sent their proposals to the European Commission for the ninth package of sanctions against Russia and Belarus.
We are talking about synchronization of sanctions against Russia and Belarus, which has been discussed in Brussels for some time.
According to the EU diplomats, there are two goals: firstly, as much as possible to hit the Belarusian economy and force Minsk to stop helping Moscow in the war against Ukraine; Secondly, make measures so that the Russians do not try to circumvent sanctions.
The question is whether the consent of all EU countries will be after Russia attacked civil goals in Ukraine from the territory of Belarus.
