November 10, 2021 "We will extend our sanctions against Belarus early next week and the United States will prepare sanctions that will be in place from the beginning of December".

This was stated by the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in a short press point at the end of the meeting in Washington with the American president, Joe Biden.

"It is important that the Lukashenko regime understands that it will pay for its behavior", added the president, referring to the arrival of migrants pushed from Minsk to the border with the EU.

With US President Joe Biden "we agreed that we will look at the possibilities of sanctioning those airlines that facilitate the trafficking of human beings to Minsk and the border between Belarus and the EU", the president specified.
