Presidential aircraft Boeing-737 uses as Alexander Lukashenko himself, and members of his family. Now the movement of the Belarusian leader will be somewhat difficult, at least, if he decides to fly to countries, preferring to follow US directives.
A number of key enterprises of Belarus are also included in the sanctions list., including automobile plants MAZ and BelAZ, as well as their leaders. Besides, sanctions imposed on seven high-ranking officials of the Central Election Committee of Belarus.
