November 5, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The United States has lifted <\/a>sanctions on Belarus\u2019 national airline, Bie\u0142avija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two planes and a helicopter believed to be linked to Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka and Russia\u2019s potash mining company, Slavkaliy, are now permitted to receive technical maintenance and are no longer subject to US flight restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US also removed restrictions on a Bombardier Challenger 850 used by the Belarusian government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington had pledged to lift sanctions on Bie\u0142avija after John Coale, the US deputy special envoy to Ukraine, secured the release of more than 50 designated political prisoners during a meeting with Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka on September 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bie\u0142avija remains banned from the European Union following the May 2021 forced landing of a Ryanair aircraft in Minsk by Belarusian security forces, who detained an opposition journalist and his girlfriend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident has not been fully investigated, as Belarusian authorities have refused to grant international experts access to key evidence and witnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
