Belarusian government officials and politicians work to keep Lukashenka in power every day.  Today, OFAC designated two influential GoB officials that are particularly close to Lukashenka and contribute to the continuance of his regime. Lukashenka hired Darya Shmanai (Shmanai) to work in his protocol service shortly after college; she now serves as a Belarusian government official in Moscow, Russia.  Shmanai and Lukashenka are alleged to have a very close relationship and have often appeared together at public events.

Blocking Property, Suspending Entry, Trade sanctions

E.O. 14038. On August 9, 2021, the President, invoking the authority of, inter alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), issued E.O. 14038. In E.O. 14038, the President expanded the scope of the national emergency declared in E.O. 13405, finding that the Belarusian regime's harmful activities and long-standing abuses aimed at suppressing democracy and the exercise of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Belarus including illicit and oppressive activities stemming from the August 9, 2020, fraudulent Belarusian presidential election and its aftermath, such as the elimination of political opposition and civil society organizations and the regime's disruption and endangering of international civil air travel—constituted an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
