We will by no means accept the U.S. pressure and coercion,&#8221; Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Monday at a daily briefing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/belarus-leader-lukashenko-putin-praise-russia-ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BELARUS LEADER LUKASHENKO LAVISHES PUTIN WITH PRAISE: \u2018BETTER SHAPE THAN EVER\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Beijing claims to maintain a neutral stance in the year-old war, but has also said it has a &#8220;no-limits friendship&#8221; with Russia and has refused to criticize Moscow\u2019s invasion, or even call it that. It has accused the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. and<\/a> NATO of provoking the conflict and condemned sanctions leveled against Russia and entities seen as aiding its military effort.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, those sanctions were expanded to include a Chinese company known as Spacety China, which has supplied satellite imagery of Ukraine to affiliates of Wagner Group, a private Russian military contractor owned by a close associate of President Vladimir Putin. A Luxembourg-based subsidiary of Spacety China was also targeted.<\/p>\n<p>Belarus has strongly backed Moscow and allowed its territory to be used as a staging ground for the initial invasion of Ukraine a year ago. Belarus continues to host Russian troops, warplanes and other weapons.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/who-is-europes-last-dictator-alexander-lukashenko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WHO IS BELARUS PRESIDENT ALEXANDER LUKASHENKO, &#8216;EUROPE\u2019S LAST DICTATOR&#8217;?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>China has long retained close ties with Lukashenko, Belarus\u2019 only president since the position was created in 1994. Lukashenko crushed 2020 protests over his disputed reelection in a vote that the opposition and Western countries regard as fraudulent.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its brutality, Lukashenko&#8217;s suppression does not appear to have ended all opposition activity.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Belarusian guerrillas attacked a military air base that hosts Russian warplanes outside Belarusia\u2019s capital, Minsk, according to activists.<\/p>\n<p>Belarusian opposition organization BYPOL, in an online messaging app channel run by the activists, said an A-50 early warning and control aircraft was seriously damaged in the attack at the Machulishchy base near Minsk. The activists provided no evidence to support the claims, which couldn\u2019t be independently verified. Belarusian and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/world-regions\/russia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Russian officials<\/a> made no comment, but Lukashenko urged top military and security officials Monday to tighten discipline.<\/p>\n<p>Also Monday, prosecutors demanded 19-year prison sentences for exiled opposition leaders Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and Pavel Latushka, as well as fines of $15,000 and $10,000 respectively, amid a continued crackdown on dissent in the ex-Soviet republic.<\/p>\n<p>Tsikhanouskaya, Latushka and three other opposition figures are being tried in absentia in Minsk on charges of conspiring to overthrow the government, creating and leading an extremist group, inciting hatred and harming national security. The prosecution also sought 12-year sentences for Maryya Maroz, Volha Kavalkova and Siarhei Dylevski. All five left Belarus following the unprecedented mass protests in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/belarusian-president-alexander-lukashenko-heading-beijing-3-day-visit\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/belarusian-president-alexander-lukashenko-heading-beijing-3-day-visit <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a close ally of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, is due in Beijing to begin a three-day state visit Tuesday as geopolitical [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_2902945987_2902945987":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[16563],"tags":[],"stock_ticker":[],"class_list":["post-57622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
