Belarus recalled its ambassador to London today to protest the heavy sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom on Minsk for cracking down on the opposition and supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In a statement, Belarusian diplomacy said it had taken this measure in response to “unprecedented sanctions”, particularly against the Belarusian economy, clarifying that it would also reduce its staff in London.
“Recalling the ambassador does not mean that we are closing the channels of communication with London,” he stressed, however.
The UK, like many Western countries, has imposed sanctions on the regime of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko for its relentless crackdown on a massive protest movement in 2020 and 2021.
The West has imposed drastic new sanctions against Minsk after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that began on February 24, because Belarusian territory is used as a rearguard base for Russian troops in Ukraine.
