The announcement of the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus will certainly lead to additional sanctions against Belarus, the next package of EU sanctions will be significantly stricter for Lukashenko’s regime, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced.
At the Bucharest conference on Tuesday, the head of the Polish government was asked whether the sanctions imposed on Alyaksandr Lukashenko’s regime should be adopted in a tougher variant than planned following Vladimir Putin’s declaration that Russian tactical nuclear missiles will be stored in Belarus in the second half of this year.
According to Morawiecki, the announcement of the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus will certainly lead to Belarus being subject to additional sanctions, and the level of these sanctions will be “significantly more severe for the Lukashenko regime”.
11th Sanction Package
The prime minister assured that he talks almost daily with European leaders about how to draft the eleventh package of sanctions.
This package will certainly include more actions towards Belarus
said Morawiecki.
We in Poland – because we border directly on Belarus – are also considering whether, as part of our bilateral relations, we should not tighten all the parameters of freight and passenger transport precisely in order to send a very clear signal to Lukashenko that we not accept actions, which de facto serve Russia in its aggressive actions in Ukraine and in its aggressive actions against Poland and other EU countries
said the head of government.
Vladimir Putin announced on Saturday that Russia intends to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus. According to Putin, Russia, including Belarus, has 10 aircraft capable of carrying nuclear missiles, and warehouses must be built by June 1 to store these weapons.
