The EP proposed to impose sanctions against Russia for the events in Belarus

He made a corresponding proposal on the air of Polish radio.

“What the European Union could do, what Poland could offer is to direct sanctions on Russia, not on Belarus. Because it looks like a punishment with a sword, not a hand, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

According to the MEP, if Russia is neutralized, then “Belarusians will cope with the construction of democracy themselves”.

At the same time, he added that he regrets because of the insufficiently tough reaction of the EU to the events in Belarus.

Earlier, Lithuanian Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis said that if the European Union does not reach a common decision on the introduction of sanctions against Belarus, Lithuania will seek national restrictions from the states of the region.
