MOSCOW (Reuters) - More than 400 migrants who had travelled to Belarus seeking to cross the border into the EU flew home on Saturday on an Iraqi Airways plane bound for the city of Erbil in northern Iraq, Minsk's airport said.
The EU imposed sanctions https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/us-restricts-dealings-belarusian-sovereign-debt-increases-sanctions-2021-12-02 on Belarus on Thursday after accusing it of flying in migrants, mostly from the Middle East, and pushing them to illegally cross the Polish border to manufacture a crisis, something Minsk denies.
