Meanwhile, western powers, led by the US and EU, are calling for sanctions against Belarus, an ally of the Russian Federation. 21WIRE editor Patrick Henningsen talks with RT International about this story, putting it into a wider context, as well as what it means in the wider geopolitical scheme of things.
