US sanctions against Belarus officials far-fetched - FM

MINSK, June 9 (Itar-Tass) - The U.S. sanctions against Belarus' officials are far-fetched and prove that Washington shows no political will to boost cooperation, Belarusian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Savinykh said on Wednesday in his comments on U.S. President Barack Obama' s decision to suspend the sanctions for twelve months.

"Speaking about sanctions against some Belarusian officials, after these sanctions have been applied for a long period of time, it is evident to everyone that they are far-fetched and detached from real life," he said.

The diplomat described these sanctions as useless and confrontational in character. They prove, "the United States lacks political will to develop relations for the sake of peace and cooperation."
