Reuters: The EU is preparing to impose sanctions against 30 individuals and legal entities in Belarus 
about 30 individuals and legal entities, including Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei and the Belarusian airline Belavia, reports Reuters, citing diplomats familiar with the situation.
The EU and NATO accuse President Alexander Lukashenko of using migrants as a weapon of pressure on the West. A new round of sanctions is directed against Belarusian officials, who, according to the European Union, organized the arrival of migrants in retaliation for restrictions on Minsk.
On Wednesday, November 10, as a decisive step, 27 EU ambassadors intend to formally agree with the fact that the growth in the number of migrants on the border of Belarus with Poland constitutes a “hybrid war” and can serve as a legal basis for the imposition of sanctions. According to diplomats, they are also considering the possibility of expanding economic sanctions against Belarus, introduced in July.
Earlier, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko for the first time commented on the situation on the border with Poland and the aggravation of the migration crisis. According to the Belarusian leader, Minsk calmly resists the current circumstances and does not bully. He stressed that, in his opinion, fighting migrants with the help of columns of tanks is blackmail. In general, in the modern world, taking up arms is like death, concluded the head of state.
