According to Belarusian peace activist Olga Karatch, Switzerland should continue non-military trade relations with Belarus. (archive image)

“Normal” trade relations are an opportunity to obtain information about the situation in Belarus, Karatch said in the interview published on Saturday. This would also create jobs outside the state’s economy.

The peace activist was invited to Bern by the organization Peace Women Worldwide, the interview revealed. The meeting was about how to prevent Belarus from participating in the war in Ukraine. The joint fight against prison companies in Belarus that produced for the West was also an issue. Little is known about the companies, Karatch said.

In August, Switzerland accepted stricter sanctions from the European Union against Belarus. Among other things, the export of firearms and ammunition, as well as space technology that could be used to build drones, was banned. The new sanctions also include other so-called dual-use items used in both the civilian and military sectors.
