Overview
- OFAC issued a general license permitting transactions tied to three aircraft identified as EW-001PA, EW-001PB and EW-001PH.
- The authorization covers use by Alexander Lukashenko or the foreign LLC Slavkali and allows servicing, flights and related technical and commercial activity.
- The license does not unfreeze other assets or override separate sanctions that still apply to Belarus.
- OFAC also removed the state carrier Belavia and a Belavia-linked aircraft, EW-301PJ, from certain U.S. restrictions, restoring some operational and commercial pathways.
- Reporting links the calibrated relief to Belarus’s release of political prisoners and recent U.S. outreach, though this rationale is not stated in the official documents.
