The Foreign Secretary grilled independent MP Claudie Webbe on “who” to sue as a means of taking legal action against belarus. Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus, on Tuesday threatened to stop the transit of European Union goods via his country to Russia and China in retaliation for EU sanctions.
