On Belarus, the ministers said they were ready to sanction strongman leader Lukashenko, as the bloc seeks to step up pressure over his regime’s crackdown on protesters. But a fresh outbreak in Minsk yesterday — police using water cannon and stun grenades on protesters and making hundreds of arrests — prompted ministers to give political approval to sanctioning the strongman leader.
As he arrived for the meeting in Luxembourg, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas had urged his counterparts to expand the sanctions list to include the strongman leader.

After today’s political green light, technical work will be started to prepare the sanctions, with one diplomat telling AFP they hoped it would move quickly.
