(MENAFN) Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on Tuesday voiced his endorsement for Russia’s concept of bringing together all nations currently facing sanctions, according to Belta.

During a government meeting, Lukashenko explained that the Russian Foreign Ministry had contacted him in his role as Chairman of the Supreme State Council to discuss the possibility of “somehow unit[ing] all those under sanctions.”

He further remarked, "We've also convinced China. They don't need persuasion; they understand they'll be next," indicating Beijing’s awareness of potential future sanctions.

Lukashenko highlighted that 50 nations are presently subject to direct sanctions, with “hundreds of states” impacted indirectly.
