Political analyst Alyaksandr Klaskouski from the Pozirk news agency observes that in the debate over sanctions against the regime, neither the proponents of a strict approach nor those advocating for a more flexible stance have compelling arguments. He appreciates the humanitarian perspective of Maryia Kalesnikava, who urged the European Union to "keep the doors open" for Belarusians. However, he also emphasizes that there is an ongoing war, and security considerations take precedence in Europe.
