1. On February 28, the Korean government strongly condemned Russia's armed invasion against Ukraine and decided to take export control measures on Russia for a peaceful resolution of the situation.

2. In this regard, the Korean government decided today (March 6) to implement export control measures against Belarus under the judgement that Belarus is substantially enabling Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

3. The export control measures on Belarus will be similarly applied as those on Russia.

4. The Korean government will share today’s decision with relevant countries, including the United States, as soon as possible, while further expanding support and protection for Korean companies and overseas Koreans that may be affected by the measures.
