New head of Belaruskali promises to fight for lifting of sanctions

"Belaruskali will continue to fight for the lifting of Western sanctions. This was stated by the general director of the company Andrei Rybakou on air of the state television channel "Belarus 1".

"In any case, we'll remember about ourselves and those unlawful actions directed against Belaruskali, against our country," he said.

As Euroradio previously reported, on November 4, Lukashenka appointed Andrei Rybakou general director of Belaruskali. He replaced Ivan Halavaty, to whom Lukashenka promised to send ambassadors to countries where they knew the Russian language.

Belaruskali fell under EU sanctions in 2022. The company petitioned the EU court to overturn this decision. However, in September this year, the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg refused to lift the restrictive measures.
