(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
Belarusian exports to the European Union and North American
countries to a sum of 16 to 18 billion US dollars a year have been
blocked by the Western sanctions, Belarusian Prime Minister Roman
Golovchenko said in an interview with Al Arabiya, fragments of
which were aired by the Belarus-1 television channel on Sunday,
Trend reports
citing TASS .
'Practically all Belarus' exports to the countries of the
European Union and North America have been blocked by the
sanctions. Roughly, the sum stands at about 16-18 billion US
dollars a year,' he said.
According to Golovchenko, Belarus interprets these sanction 'not
merely as an instrument of pressure but as an instrument of hybrid
aggression.' 'Probably, this is the last stage that precedes a
classical armed aggression,' he said. 'The sanction's aim, unlike
their classical meaning, is to bring the country to its knees, to
stifle it economically and force it to comply with certain demands
or conditions.'.
