G7 foreign ministers warn Belarus against supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine

October 4, BPN. G7 foreign ministers have warned Belarus against further support of Russia’s war of aggression, “including permitting Russia’s armed forces to use 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 [Łukašenka] regime,” the foreign ministers of the group of seven advanced economies said in a statement following a meeting in Germany.

On October 11, the G7 warned officials in Minsk about the inadmissibility of supporting Russia in its war against Ukraine and threatened new sanctions.
