Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei said that “today in the European Union one cannot talk about any freedom of speech and the rule of law.”
He cited sanctions as an example of this. They say that when Minsk tries “for example, to deny any sanctions measures in the courts of the European Union, then decisions are immediately made to change the regulations of the relevant structures, which leave us no hope for a positive result.”
Vladimir Makei said this in an interview with Russian WMD, Zerkalo writes .
According to him, this is a “bitter experience” for Belarus.
“We see that in their attempts to isolate, destroy, strangle our countries (Belarus and Russia – Ed.), the European Union, the West as a whole takes radical measures, violating all their so-called European values, violating all laws and, moreover, — moral principles,” Makei added.
As reported, Alexander Lukashenko said: it will not be possible to bring Belarus and the Russian Federation to their knees. The sanctions imposed on Moscow and Minsk because of their actions force us to look for new opportunities, he stressed.
