EU cooperation is needed to stand up to the autocratic leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko. That’s the advice from Fine Gael MEP Sean Kelly.
His comments follow an address to the European Parliament last Wednesday by the Belarusian opposition leade,r Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. She told MEPs the regime was trying to weaponise migrants to deliberately undermine the stability and security of Europe.
