Thank you so much.
It's not a sanctions policy; it was a strike, but I really appreciate the ability to speak on this subject.
We believe that Lukashenko turned the country into a concentration camp. In one of the reports of the human rights organizations, it was called “an open-air prison”. It's really rather difficult for the people living inside Belarus now to manifest something different or something that Lukashenko doesn't like. On top of that, Putin came to Belarus with the troops, the tanks, the rockets and the aircraft and launched the war of aggression against Ukraine. We believe that under these circumstances, Belarus could and maybe should be considered an occupied territory, when the people cannot really decide their destiny.
Of course, I should mention—I should have mentioned this earlier—the recent development of deployment of tactical nuclear weapons, which Lukashenko claims is done by his initiative, but it is done by Putin. They promised that the nuclear weapons would be delivered on July 8. That will be a very dangerous factor for regional security, at least, and of course, it undermines the non-proliferation treaty and all the obligations in this sphere.
We believe that such a development could be the cause of a real, strong response from the collective west, and that, maybe, specially designed sanctions should be planned if such a development occurs.
