The White House announced the development of sanctions against Belarusian officials

"The sanctions are directed against key members of the regime (President of Belarus Alexander. -

) Lukashenko, associated with ongoing human rights violations and corruption, rigged elections in 2020 and the events of May 23," the message says.

It is noted that the US Treasury Department is preparing a new decree that will give the United States broader powers to impose sanctions against "elements of the Lukashenka regime, his support network, as well as those who support corruption and human rights violations."

Earlier, the US State Department retained a recommendation for American citizens not to visit Belarus due to the "risk of detention."
