South Korea will impose controls on exports to Belarus because Minsk “actively supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” the South Korean Foreign Ministry said today.
The ministry did not specify what measures it would take, but said it would be in line with what Seoul has already done against Russia.
South Korea has condemned Moscow for its “armed invasion” of Ukraine.
In February, Seoul announced that it would tighten controls against Russia, ban the export of strategically important products to the country, and follow Western countries in excluding some Russian banks from the SWIFT international payment system.
“The Korean government today decided to impose export control measures on Belarus as well, considering that the country actively supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” the South Korean Foreign Ministry said.
Russia’s ambassador to Seoul, Andrei Kulik, has expressed regret over the South Korean sanctions against his country, which he attributed to “strong external pressure” on the country by the United States and its Western partners.
