European Parliament Accuses Belarusian Leader Lukashenko of Enabling Russia's War in Ukraine

The European Parliament has accused Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko of being complicit in war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine and has urged the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for him. The resolution also accuses Belarus of playing a role in the forcible deportation of Ukrainian children and calls for "mirror" sanctions against Belarus, similar to those applied by the EU against Russia. The resolution further suggests adding Minsk and Moscow to the EU's list of countries at "high risk" of financial irregularities and sponsoring terrorism, and proposes banning Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competitions.
