The European Union has imposed new sanctions on Belarus, targeting 25 individuals and seven entities, including the Belarus Central Election Commission. These measures are a response to the country's recent presidential election, which saw Alexander Lukashenko inaugurated for a seventh term amid widespread allegations of political repression and democratic backsliding. The EU accuses the Belarusian regime of undermining democracy and the rule of law. The sanctions reflect growing international concern over Lukashenko's authoritarian grip on power. This move marks a continued effort by the EU to pressure Belarus into political reform.
