April 30, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced new sanctions against 16 Belarusian nationals and 11 entities in a video address on April 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a signal to many of our partners that pressure must be applied to de-escalate this war and reduce its intensity,” he said, at the same time stressing that Belarus \u201cshould not be drawn into the war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among those sanctioned is Viktar \u0160ejman, a close ally of Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka, whom Kyiv identified as one of the organizers of sanctions-evasion schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others are \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s sons Viktar and D\u017amitryj, sanctioned for their involvement in exporting goods in violation of international sanctions, supplying dual-use items and facilitating their re-export through Belarus. Pavie\u0142 Muraviejka, chief of the General Staff of the Belarusian Armed Forces, is also on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Ukraine imposed sanctions on \u0141uka\u0161enka for his support for Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent Ukrainian sanctions also target Belarusian enterprises that produce artillery shells for the Russian army, including the Minsk-based Termoplast plant, the Minsk Forging Plant and IK9, which is affiliated with the penal colony in the Mahilo\u016d region and reportedly manufactures shell packaging. NefteKhimDiagnostika is a company where \u201cammunition is tested,\u201d Kyiv added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Viciebsk Plant of Electrical Measuring Instruments reportedly supplies equipment for the repair and modernization of Russian armored vehicles, while Radyjotechnika manufactures military equipment components, it noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zelensky\u2019s website also listed the Minsk-based 407 Technics, which repairs Russian aircraft, as well as Chip and Dip, a supplier of electronic components, measuring devices and tools. In 2024, the US Department of the Treasury imposed restrictions on a Russian company with the same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2022, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine in which the Belarusian authorities supported the Kremlin, allowing Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarus on multiple occasions and supplying arms to Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
