26 октября 2020

And it's time to tell about the weekend in Minsk. The picture is as follows: protesters on traffic poles and car roofs, roads are blocked, public transport is stopped.

For almost two weeks "fugitive revolutionaries" from Lithuania and Poland has been calling to transfer power in Belarus to them. Several times they tried to reach the central avenue. The operative police did not allow this. As a result, they were hanging around aimlessly and chaotically again. According to eyewitnesses, they tried to "take advantage" of those places in the city where there are more people. A picture is necessary for the masses, just like the traditional headlines about the incredible number of participants.

Ivan Kubrakov, Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Minsk City Executive Committee: "We kept everything under control. And when trying to break through to the Flag Square, the protesters began to behave aggressively. The police officers took measures to stop illegal actions.”
