US tries to keep Russian airlines from getting their hands on sanctioned parts

The issue arose after Washington lifted sanctions against Belavia, the main carrier of Russian ally Belarus.

POLITICO

Notably, #Belavia removed the page describing its airfleet from its official website.

#European sanctions against #Belavia remain in force.

On September 11, 2025, it became known that the #United_States lifted sanctions on #Belavia, the #Belarusian state-owned airline.

This opens the way for #Russian aviation to rather easily obtain the spare parts needed to service its airfleet - both civilian and military - since many of those parts are dual-use. There is no doubt that #Russia will take advantage of this.

“52 is a lot. Very many. Nevertheless, more than 1000 political prisoners still remain in #Belarusian prisons, and we can not stop until they are freed,” emphasized the President of #Lithuania.

ℹ️ Earlier today, #Lukashenko met in #Minsk with #John_Cole, the #US Deputy Special Envoy for #Ukraine. The meeting lasted about 5 hours.

#Cole announced the lifting of sanctions on #Belavia. This likely happened in exchange for the release of 52 political prisoners.

@MAKS23 and we see a lot of #russian commercial air planes to be painted as #Belavia and get repaired in #USA those just another way to get around sanctions.
