Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if her Department will impose sanctions on Belarus for its involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It is clear that Belarus has been complicit in this unprovoked invasion on Ukraine and that they have chosen to look away as democracy is attacked. On 1 March, the Foreign Secretary launched a first tranche of sanctions against Belarusian individuals and organisations in response to the role the country is playing in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including facilitating the invasion from within its borders. Four senior defence officials and 2 military enterprises have been sanctioned with immediate effect under the UK's Russia sanctions regime.
