The European Union has prepared an additional package of sanctions against Belarus for providing support to Russian troops in the war against Ukraine. Bloomberg writes about this after reviewing the relevant documents..

As noted, the proposed restrictions are in many ways similar to the measures already applied by the European Union in relation to the Russian Federation.. In particular, on the issue of imposing sanctions against key technologies and the energy sector.

Thus, future restrictive measures against Belarus may include:.

prohibition of the export of dual-use goods and technologies that can be used for military purposes and increase the production potential of the republic;

sanctions on oil, coal, gold and steel products;

trade restrictions on luxury goods, investments and certain services;

measures against the aviation and energy sectors of Belarus, as well as key sources of income.

At the same time, it is assumed that sanctions will have exceptions regarding medicines, agricultural and food products, as well as relevant financial transactions with sanctioned persons.. Just like the restrictions against the Russian Federation.

The adoption of this package will allow the EU to prosecute those who will help Belarusian individuals or legal entities circumvent sanctions.

For final approval, the proposed restrictive measures must be supported by all member states of the European Union.

Earlier it was reported that the EU also wants to prepare the tenth package of sanctions against Russia before February 24 - the anniversary of the start of a full-scale invasion of the invaders into the territory of Ukraine..
