President about sanctions in interview with Sky News Arabia: we expected it and got ready

19 июля 2021

Alexander Lukashenko gave an interview to the TV channel Sky News Arabia. Such issues as sanctions, incident with a plane, relations with the West and migration were discussed. 


The conversation lasted for about an hour. The head of the state answered the journalist's questions in detail. They concerned the situation around the emergency landing of the Ryanair plane. The relations between Belarus and the West and possibilities of dialogue with the EU, sanctions and their impact on the country's economy were also the focus of attention. 

One of the questions concerned the topic of illegal migration via Belarus to the European Union countries. Now our country, among others, is actively being labeled as an envoy. When accusing Belarus, the West again fails to see the log in its own eye. Well, on the other hand, how, in principle, can we meet this challenge, when we are constantly confronted with unfriendly actions?  Information and real terror, fakes, provocations and sanctions policy.  In such a situation, Belarus reacts in a coherent manner, and our response will not be long in coming.
