Are the European Union’s sanctions against Belarus effective? The initial European response to the fraudulent election in Belarus was swift, but didn’t go far enough, said opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, emboldening President Alexander Lukashenko to think he could continue to act with impunity and even hijack a Ryanair plane. The EU has stated that while it wants to impose sanctions that will punish the Belarusian president and the government, they don't want to hurt the Belarusian people - but Tsikhanouskaya affirmed that sanctions are the leverage that people on the ground are asking for. “People don't feel safe, and they want to end the regime as soon as possible,” she told Ian Bremmer in an interview on GZERO World.
