MINSK, 02 June 2021, (TON): Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, Belarusian opposition leader said that she had asked the United States for further sanctions on individuals and companies supporting the Belarus government.

The Biden administration said “it was drawing up a list of targeted sanctions against key members of the Belarusian government following the former Soviet republic’s forced landing of a passenger jet and arrest of a journalist Roman Protasevich and his girlfriend Sofia Sapega on board.”

Tsikhanouskaya said she welcomed a decision by the United States to introduce sanctions against Belarusian state-owned oil companies starting from June 3rd.

Tsikhanouskaya said after a meeting with Democratic and Republican senators from the US Foreign Relations Committee “But we also ask for further measures in targeted sanctions against enterprises and individuals supporting the regime”.

She further added “Sanctions should help to stop the violence and help release of all political prisoners.”
