Any Belarusian can join the Movement and choose from numerous options to resist the war and Belarus' regime.
Here is an overview of the Movement on May 24.
Support for Ukrainians and Belarusians
- Vyshyvanka Day was held in Seattle, where Belarusians demonstrated authentic Ukrainian clothes. Funds from the show will be used for food and medicine delivery to Ukraine.

Kovalevsky and his team plan to hold meetings with the Ukrainian government, deputies, journalists, and experts.
Resistance
- Gomel partisans remind what kind of government they want.
- Belarusians of Chizhovka protest against fascism, stalinism and rashism.
Sabotage
- The Hajun project, which monitors the movements of Russian troops in Belarus, released an operational summary on May 23.
- Also, Hajun published a review of the main events of Belarusian propaganda about the war in Ukraine on May 24: the regime is trying again to play the peacemaker card, as if everyone had forgotten that it was Lukashenka who allowed Russian troops to be deployed on the territory of Belarus.
Awareness campaign
- On May 25, a webinar will be held on the topic “How not to become an extremist?” Pavel Sapelko, a lawyer from the Viasna Human Rights Center, is invited as speaker. More information here.

- The head of the BYSOL Foundation Andrei Strizhak spoke live on the Kiev TV channel about how Belarusians help Ukrainians, what they are doing for the victory of Ukraine in the war, and reminded that Belarusians are not the regime.
