Lukashenko has threatened to cut off gas to the EU

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko threatened on thursday that will interrupt the transit of gas through the country to the European Union in response to expanding sanctions from the bloc against representatives of Belarus, reports TASS.

He also said that Belarus was ready to respond emphatically to the new sanctions, even to completely close the transit through the country.

Earlier, the EU said it would extend sanctions next week, France called for a firm response. In the meantime Germany has asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to help with the crisis.

We are heating Europe, and they still threaten ust that will close the border. What if we stop natural gas? Therefore I would recommend to the Polish leadership, Lithuanians and other brainless people to think before they speak“Lukashenko explains.

And if we close the transit through Belarus? He will not pass through Ukraine: the Russian border there is closed, there are no roads through the Baltic countries.”

If we close it for the Poles and, for example, for the Germans, what will happen then? We must stop at nothing while defending our sovereignty and independence, “Lukashenko said, commenting on Warsaw’s plans to close the Polish-Belarusian border.

“But this is their job. If they close, let them close,” Lukashenko said, instructing the Foreign Ministry “to warn everyone in Europe: only to impose additional sanctions on us, indigestible and unacceptable to us, we must answer. How to answer, we agreed with you 6 months ago “.
