Belarus FM Ryabkov on sanctions against Belarus: EU's self-isolation

This was stated by Maxim Ryabkov before the start of a seminar for heads of diplomatic missions and consular institutions of Belarus in Minsk.

"This very much resembles not the isolation of Belarus or Russia, but the self-isolation of the European Union. Because with each new package of sanctions, it is the European Union and its citizens who suffer the most.

"We all see how much EU citizens themselves suffer from being cut off from markets, from the absence of our tourists in these countries, from the lack of cheap and reliable resources previously supplied."

European politicians need a diagnosis: chronic loss of touch with reality.
