Russia urges US to lift sanctions against Belarus

RBC, 21.03.2008, Minsk 18:43:17.Russia is calling on the US to change its policy regarding Belarus and its corporations, Russian Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov told journalists in Minsk today. The PM noted that Russia viewed the US decision to impose new sanctions against Belarus's state-owned oil company Belneftekhim as unlawful and politically motivated. Instead of removing the sanctions, the US is putting further pressure on Belarus, Zubkov stated.

In November 2007, the US Treasury froze Belneftekhim assets in the US and prohibited US companies from cooperating with the Belarus corporation.
