Get ready, we will not stop — new sanctions against Lukashenko's regime
Remember, we promised that we would soon send another batch of servants of Lukashenka's regime under sanctions? We promised — we fulfilled. At the suggestion of the National Anti-Crisis Management, a number of persons responsible for internal repressions and other crimes against Belarusians were included in the next EU sanctions package. In particular, the following were subject to European restrictions:
Propagandists: Director-General of BELTA Iryna Akulovich, member of the Council of the Republic and editor-in-chief of "Belarus Today" publishing house Dmitriy Zhuk, chairman of the so-called Youth Parliament Nikita Rachilovsky, as well as ANT correspondent Aleksey Kravin.
13 "judges":
Vyacheslav Tuleyka — judge of the Minsk Regional Court;
Alena Ananich — judge of the Minsk City Court;
Anatoly Sotnikov — judge of the Gomel Regional Court;
Andrey Mlechka — judge of the Frunzensky District Court of Minsk;

Regime enforcers from GUBOPiK Andrei Ananenka, Mikhail Bedunkevich and Dmitriy Kovach, so-called prosecutors Mikhail Kovalev and Iryna Podkavyrova, head of colony No. 11 in Vaukavysk Viktar Dubrovka, head of colony No. 4 Dzianis Tavstiankov, head of the prison in Hrodna Pavel Kazakov and his deputy Vasyl On Christmas Day, Andrei Tsedryk, head of pre-trial detention center No. 1 in Minsk.
Viktor Shautsou, a businessman, is also close to Lukashenko.
Individuals subject to the EU's restrictive measures are subject to asset freezes and a ban on receiving funds from citizens and companies in the EU. They are also not allowed to enter or transit through the territory of the European Union.
In total, EU sanctions against Lukashenko's regime are currently applied to 261 individuals and 37 legal entities.
We understand that this is only the first step on the way to real justice. In the future, many of them will be on trial for their many crimes against Belarusians. Responsibility will be inevitable. Get ready, this is far from the end. Everyone who participates in political persecution and repression will be held accountable for their actions. We will continue our efforts and continue to work to ensure justice for all victims of this regime.
