EU to impose sanctions on Iran, Belarus as they 'support Russia's war in Ukraine'
The European Union on Tuesday announced that it will be imposing sanctions on “countries supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine like Belarus and Iran.”
While Iran has been accused of supplying drones to Russia, Belarus has been a close ally of Moscow.
There has also been speculation that Russia may launch an offensive against Ukraine from Belarus which borders the country.
“The EU will keep supporting the Ukrainian people and pressing against Russia’s imperial war,” EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said.
“The EU will keep supporting the Ukrainian people and pressing against Russia’s imperial war.
We will extend sanctions to those who militarily support Russia’s war, such as Belarus and Iran.”
