Deputies of the European Parliament said that Belarus was occupied by Russia, since Russian troops are deployed there, and the Lukashenko regime is Russifying Belarusian culture. In the text of the resolution, the deputies of the European Parliament called on Russia to leave Belarus, and also called on Western countries, to extend anti -Russian sanctions to Alexander Lukashenko and his accomplices. The confiscation of the frozen assets of Lukashenko and all those who contribute to the authoritarian regime is implied.

The resolution emphasizes that the regime of Lukashenko provided Russia with the territory of the country to attack Ukraine.

"Lukashenko and persons associated with him are equally responsible for war crimes in Ukraine and should be held accountable to the international tribunal and the international criminal court," the resolution says.

• Earlier, Lukashenko called on Ukraine to stop hostilities, saying that otherwise it was waiting for "complete destruction."
• On November 23, deputies of the European Parliament recognized Russia with the sponsor of terrorism.
