Sanctions on Belarus cover multiple issues: fraudulent elections, human rights abuses, and complicity in Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. But what is their real impact?

Head of CFS Europe Kinga Redlowska is joined by Lev Lvovskiy, Senior Researcher at the Belarusian Economic Research and Outreach Center (BEROC) , and Tom Keatinge, Director of CFS, to examine the goals and effectiveness of sanctions on Belarus. The discussion covers economic impact, the Belarus–Russia alignment on sanctions evasion, and key challenges in sanctions enforcement.
