The G7 countries and the European Union once again called on Belarus to stop supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine and threatened to put financial pressure on Belarus if it actively supports Moscow.
“We reiterate our call for the Belarusian authorities to stop enabling Russia’s war of aggression, including permitting Russia’s armed forces to use the Belarusian territory to launch missiles targeting Ukraine. If the Belarusian authorities more directly involve Belarus in Russia’s war, the G7 will impose overwhelming additional costs on the regime [self-proclaimed President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko – ed.],” emphasized the heads of foreign affairs of the G7 countries and representatives of the EU.
In addition, the representatives of the G7 and the EU emphasized that they intended to counter the Russian disinformation campaign, including accusations against Ukraine regarding the alleged development of biological weapons.
“We reiterate our unwavering commitment to continue providing the financial, humanitarian, defense, political, technical, and legal support Ukraine needs to alleviate the suffering of its people and to uphold its sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders,” concluded the heads of foreign affairs of the G7 countries and representatives of the EU.
