Minsk warned the EU about the “final loss of Belarus”

According to Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei, there are those in the EU who understand the need to resolve the current situation.But they are ready to discuss it only on the sidelines Vladimir Makei

Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei, in an interview with the Belarus 1 TV channel, said that the fifth package of sanctions from the European Union is actually not beneficial to anyone. Speaking at the end of the OSCE Foreign Ministers' Council in Stockholm, he expressed confidence that sensible people have an understanding that it is necessary to get out of the current situation.

“In the end, no one wins. Belarus risks losing statehood if sanctions pressure continues. Although we will do everything to prevent this from happening, and the European Union will lose Belarus forever. And I think that this is absolutely not in the interests of Europe,” Makei said.

According to the minister, there is a certain understanding, but such a position is discussed only behind the scenes.

Makei also accused the EU of not doing anything specific to resolve the border crisis with migrants. “The problem is that so many of them want to get into the European Union for family reunification. And our proposal was to try together to convince them to make some clear decision in one direction or another. Unfortunately, we have not received any concrete actions in response from our European partners,” he said.

The EU accuses Belarus of deliberately organizing a crisis on the border. On the evening of December 2, the European Union approved the introduction of another package of sanctions against Belarus - 17 people and 11 companies were on the list, in total restrictions were imposed against 183 individuals and 26 organizations. As part of this package, sanctions were imposed , in particular, against the Belarusian airline Belavia , the Syrian air carrier Cham Wings, judges of the Supreme COURT, the Planet and MINSK hotels, and heads of border detachments.

The Belarusian Foreign Ministry promised “tough but adequate measures” in response.
