Belarusian Railway, Belaruskali, Belgazprombank among companies hit by Ukraine’s sanctions
January 29, BPN. Ukraine has imposed sanctions against 23 Belarus-registered organizations.
President Volodymyr Zelensky approved that decision of the National Security and Defense Council on January 28.
Potash producer Belaruskali, Homiel Chemical Plant, carbon black producer Omsk Carbon Mahiloŭ, paints and coatings plant Lakokraska, Belarusian Railway, its logistics subsidiary Belintertrans, transporters of liquefied hydrocarbon gases SG-Trans and Syryevye Resursy-Bel, engineered wood company Kronospan OSB, wood supplier Bellesexport and brick supplier AldiGrad all fell under sanctions.
Sanctions were imposed on transport and logistics companies Sodruzhestvo Trans-Agro, Gruzovaya Sluzhba-Zapad, ZapTransLogistik, Tranzit-Avto 2003, EvroTransVagon, PLM-Innovatsii, Izotermicheskaya Logistika, leasing companies Promagrolizing, ASB Leasing and Rietumu Lizing, and service company Real-Agent.
The list also includes Belgazprombank.
Ukrainian restrictive measures also affected 159 organizations and three individuals from Russia.
Asset freezing, a halt to securities trading, termination of transactions and agreements, prevention of capital flight and a ban on transit through Ukraine are among the sanctions.
Zelensky said they apply to “legal entities and individuals that the aggressor state uses to transport military equipment and soldiers by rail.”
“Their assets in Ukraine are blocked. We will use them for our defense. We will work to ensure that similar freezing is applied by other countries,” the Ukrainian president said in a daily address.
Belarus provided Russia with airspace and military bases to invade Ukraine. At the same time, officials in Minsk say they have not sent any troops to the frontlines.
