It should be noted that after the protests of 2020, many Belarusians who opposed the regime of the dictator Alexander Lukashenko moved to Ukraine. Here they tried to start life from scratch and equip life. With the start of a full-scale Russian invasion, many of them remained in the country.
Lukashenka allowed Russia to turn Belarus into a springboard for an attack on Ukraine. Russian bombers launch missiles at Ukraine from Belarusian airfields, Belarusian military men repair Russian equipment knocked out in Ukraine. But Russian President Vladimir Putin does not abandon attempts to completely draw Belarus into the war.
Belarusians continue to resist: anti-war actions are being carried out in the country actually occupied by the Russian Federation, detachments of “rail partisans” are operating, a regiment named after them is fighting for the freedom and independence of Ukraine. Kastus Kalinouski.
