Washington steps up pressure against the government of Belarus' President Alexander Lukashenko in coordinated action with the United Kingdom and Canada
US President Joe Biden walks out to depart for Delaware via Marine One from the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, US August 6, 2021.
The Belarusian leader on Monday denounced the international sanctions on his authoritarian regime, as Western nations announced new penalties over a crackdown on dissent that began a year ago when the country erupted in protests against his rule. On the anniversary of the presidential election Lukashenko is accused of rigging, the United States will also issue its largest round of sanctions to date on Belarusian individuals and entities, targeting the country's economy and the Belarusian National Olympic Committee, a White House official said earlier during the day.
The UK government said it would stop Belarusian air carriers from flying over or landing in Britain and broadened a litany of financial sanctions because of "the continued undermining of democracy and human rights violations".
