EU member states this week will approve a new package of sanctions against MINSK due to the migration crisis on the border with Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, BLOOMBERG reports, citing two sources familiar with the upcoming measures.

17 individuals and 11 legal entities will fall under the restrictions. According to one of the interlocutors, the sanctions list will include Belarusian border guards and judges, the state-owned airline Belavia , nitrogen fertilizer manufacturer Grodno Azot and Belarusneft.

In addition, sanctions will be imposed against the Syrian private airline Cham Wings Airlines, the agency reports. In November, Bild reported that the carrier, together with Belavia, may be involved in the transportation of migrants from the Middle East to Belarus, from where they get to the borders with the EU. Against the backdrop of the crisis, the Syrian company suspended flights to Minsk.
