Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department will impose further sanctions on Belarus for permitting the stationing of 9,000 further Russian armed forces personnel in its territory.

The UK, along with our allies, will continue to put pressure on Lukashenko's regime until he withdraws his support and facilitation of Putin's unjust war. Nothing and no one is off the table. The UK Government has already imposed extensive sanctions on Belarus, delivering commitments made by the Prime Minister in her previous role as Foreign Secretary to extend sanctions against Russia to people and entities in Belarus who support Putin's illegal war. The UK Government does not speculate on specific future designations as to do so could reduce the impact of the designations.
