The persecution of the Belarusian leader may lead to sad consequences for other countries.Energy expert and political scientist Boris Martsinkevich explained that the restrictive measures imposed on Belarus by the United Kingdom and the European Union are imprudent, because they can hit completely different countries.
He recalled that the Western sanctions have switched from the Nord Stream 2 to the Yamal-Europe pipeline project passing through the Belarusian territory.
The geopolitical opponents of the republic considered it a good target to punish Minsk and Lukashenko.
As a result, there were calls from them not to buy gas going to Yamal.
On his YouTube channel, Martsinevich explained that these measures are not able to harm Minsk, since the gas pipeline was bought by Gazprom.
But the sanctions may hit Poland, which receives funds from the Russian Federation for the transit of gas through its territory, namely in Yamal.
It turns out that it will not be possible to punish Lukashenko with a ruble.
“If this initiative is considered seriously, it is proposed to punish Poland & #8221;, ― the analyst believes.
According to him, the official Warsaw will be under attack because of the sanctions, which will receive less Russian transit funds if Europe stops buying transit gas.
Curiously, but earlier, as reported by Topnews, it was Poland that put forward an ultimatum to Germany on the Nord Stream 2.
Warsaw, recall, said that it needs a multibillion-dollar compensation.
