MÁLAGA, Spain — The EU is wilfully ignoring flaws in its sanctions regime against Belarus, said the country’s opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.“The sanctions have such huge loopholes that they don’t work effectively,” Tsikhanouskaya told POLITICO in an interview at an international meeting of social democrat parties in Spain.Brussels slapped waves of sanctions on Alexander Lukashenko’s authoritarian regime in Belarus after the sham presidential election of 2020, the hijacking of a Ryanair plane and the instigation of a migration crisis on the EU’s borders in 2021.

EU sanctions on Belarus range from targeting the air travel, financial and arms sectors to hydrocarbons, timber and potash exports. But those sanctions are often circumvented, Tsikhanouskaya said, including sanctioned Belarusian birchwood being exported to the EU by being labeled as coming from Kyrgyzstan. “It’s no...
