Sanctions appear tough but will isolate the Belarusian people even more. The EU could up their game by recognizing the democratically elected Belarusian individuals as the rightful government in exile, and propose to kick-start EU integration talks with them. That would send a strong support message to the Belarusian people. |

Dictators only caring about themselves and isolating their own people even more than before? Color me surprised.

Unlikely to happen, the EU has a strong history of not getting involved in the democratic process no matter how ugly it gets. Look at the "reaction" (or rather lack of reaction) from various referendums in EU countries and also abroad, and you'll see their default stance when it comes to "helping spread democracy".
I think they carefully try to avoid ending up in the same position of the US, who has meddled in so many elections worldwide that it's hard to even keep track of them anymore.
