“We are considering imposing sanctions against Belarus if it takes part in an attack on Ukraine,” TASS quoted him as saying.
On December 2, the EU introduced the fifth package of sanctions against Belarus.
It includes 17 individuals and 11 organizations.
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the US and EU sanctions against the Belarusian authorities will continue until the "continuous repression" against the Belarusian people is stopped.
Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko said that Minsk would be ready for retaliatory measures if the sanctions confrontation from the West did not stop.
