Belarus sends letter with workers' signatures against sanctions to EU Council MINSK, 8 February (BelTA) - A collective letter against sanctions with the signatures of Belarusian workers has been sent to the Council of the European Union, BelTA learned from the press service of the Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus (FTUB). More than 1,130,000 workers of Belarusian enterprises and organizations have signed the letter. It is a solidarity protest of workers against the illegal and unjustified measures taken by the European Union against the Belarusian enterprises. “We have repeatedly stressed that these actions of the EU are illegal. This is not a mere assertion. The United Nations Charter stipulates that sanctions can be applied if the actions of a country pose a threat to peace or violate peace and security. The enterprises on the sanctions list do not fall under that definition in any way. They do not violate national and international law and pose no threat to regional and global stability and security.
