The EU’s 20th sanctions package targets Belarus’ military sector, extends restrictions until February 28, 2027, and newly blacklists a Chinese state-owned company for involvement in Belarusian military goods.
The measures introduce trade restrictions, enhanced legal protections, and limitations on cryptocurrency, cybersecurity, and tourism services, mirroring sanctions previously imposed on Russia.
These actions aim to penalize Belarus for supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine and increase pressure on both the Lukashenka regime and international collaborators.
