Belarus releases 25 political prisoners after US envoy talks; sanctions partially lifted

Following talks between US Special Envoy John Sullivan and Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus released 25 political prisoners, fewer than the significantly larger number Sullivan had expected. In exchange, the US lifted sanctions on OAO Lokakraska and Bellesbumprom. The partial release suggests a limited, transactional deal, with uncertainty over whether further prisoner releases and sanctions relief will follow.
