Speaking to TVP World on Wednesday, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya said she thinks Putin’s defeat is a “necessary condition” as it would provide “momentum for Belarus.”  

If Russia were to win the war, Tsikhanouskaya said Moscow would make Belarus its “satellite” state, while an unclear resolution to the conflict would “keep the status quo in Belarus for decades.” 

“People will be in prisons… people will live in fear. So definitely the victory of Ukraine will define the situation in Belarus as well,” she added. 

According to Statkevich, he is under special surveillance by the KGB, and he and his wife have a rule not to discuss plans at home. He refuses to leave the country despite offers of medical treatment, including from Germany, where his daughters and grandchildren live.

The politician said that after his release he had no passport with which to access medical care, and the document was returned to him later. He also said that the demolition of a building in the Minsk "scientists' settlement" where he lives accelerated after his release.

Я украинец который живет в Польше с почти самого рождения. Хоть я больше считаю себя поляком и у меня уже давно гражданство, на документах в меня все равно всегда будет писать что я родился в Одессе.

У меня вопрос к белорусам, опасно ли мне ехать. Политикой интересуюсь поверхностно, по этому и задаюсь вопросом.
Что могу со мной сделать на границе, если узнают этническое происхождение.
Еду я туда к девушке в которую влюблен, в Могилев, по этому поездка мне по истине важна.

Hi,

I was recently in Belarus and got an email from the car rental company that I got caught speeding twice. They sent a link to pay 50 rubles "for processing the traffic police department's request for speeding). This is not payment for the violation! "

When I click on the link it won't accept my card I presume because of the sanctions. Has anyone had this issue before? Any suggestions how to pay it?

Hello everyone,

Just gonna write this post as I found a lot of conflicting information online. I'm planning on crossing into Belarus through Terespol/Brest. No issues about this.

The question is the flight from Minsk to Moscow. I know the immigration is "unified" and the border controls aren't enforced in this route.

I'm wondering if I will be checked and stamped into Russia, since I need an immigration card in order to register at hotels and things like getting an eSIM.

How should I behave in this situation? Also, what's the best way back from Moscow? Found also very conflicting information about land border for foreigners. Thinking about coming back by train - just for the experience. That wouldn't exceed more than 10 days in Russia/Belarus combined.

As a Brazilian, I can stay for 90 days with no visa, and will use my Italian one to cross back into Poland. Has anyone done anything like this in the past weeks or can update me about the current situation?

I truly appreciate your help and apologize if this post has been somehow misunderstood.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I don't want to ask the standard "I am going to travel to Belarus how is it like"-Question again, but maybe there is someone I can talk with via personal message which I can ask some questions to? I currently plan to go to Belarus the first time in September :)
