German Foreign Minister: Solidarity in Poland, new sanctions in Belarus, Putin to exert influence

German Foreign Minister Haiko Maas called the imposition of new economic sanctions on Belarus inevitable by the European Union, expressing the solidarity of Brussels and Berlin to Poland over the immigration crisis on its borders, as reported by Reuters.

The head of German diplomacy called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to use his influence on his Belarusian counterpart, Alexander Lukashenko, in order for the latter to change his position.

He also said that airlines that continue to transport migrants from the Middle East to Belarus, with the latter then being flown to the Belarusian border with EU countries, would be banned from flying and landing in the airspace and airports of the 27-nation bloc. .

“We will harden our stance,” Maas said. “The spiral of escalation of our sanctions is still far from its peak.”
