Axar.az reports that the statement came from Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova in a written statement on the decision to impose sanctions on Belarus.

He described the sanctions as interference in Belarus's internal affairs, and said that Western countries were trying to punish Belarus for the migrant crisis.

"On December 2, we condemn the new restrictive measures taken by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada against Belarus. These sanctions are as illegal as those imposed outside the United Nations Security Council. shows."
