According to information obtained from sources close to the administration of US President Donald Trump, as well as from an internal document noted by the Reuters agency, it was announced that the US government is preparing sanctions against Belarusian officials responsible for the violence and suppression of the opposition. According to one source, who remained anonymous due to the sensitivity of the matter, such steps may be anticipated in the coming week.
Furthermore, sources reported that the sanctions would be directed not only against the officials directly involved in the violence, but also against those who were responsible for the falsification of elections and for the policy of suppressing the opposition in Belarus. According to them, these measures are a response to the actions of the Belarusian regime and violations of human rights in the country.
One of the key moments in the upcoming sanctions, according to sources, will be the revocation of visas and the blocking of assets of individuals involved in the violence and suppression of the opposition in Belarus. Additionally, the Trump administration is also considering other sanctions options that may further limit the technical capabilities and harm key sectors of the Belarusian economy.
