  • Results of the Belarusian Anti-War Movement for May 31

    June 01, 2022

    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 31. 

    Support for Ukrainians and Belarusians    

    • Representatives of the Christian Vision initiative spoke at the German Katholikentag to tell about the challenges that Belarusian churches and Christians face in view of Russian aggression against Ukraine and how Christians in Belarus oppose the war.
    • Belarusians of Torun, Poland, rallied to congratulate Nobel laureate in Literature and Coordination Council member Sviatlana Alexievich on her birthday. 
    • Belarusian artists made new drawings in support of Ukraine. 
    • In Batumi, Georgia, Belarusian diaspora held a rally in support of Ukraine.
    • Volunteer medics from the Pirogov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital received four fully stocked tactical medic platoon tool kits from the BYSOL Foundation.
    • Belarusians of Vilnius picketed the regime's Embassy to support Mikalai Statkevich and all political prisoners in Belarus.
    • Belarusians of the ŻYVI Foundation delivered humanitarian aid to the Donetsk front, site of heavy fighting.
    • Belarusians delivered a batch of medicines to help women in Ukraine.

    Resistance

    • Activists of Kalodzishchy held a picket to support Belarusian military volunteers in Ukraine.
    • Minsk residents at a partisan action supported Maryia Uspenskaya, widow of Andrei Zeltsar killed in a shootout with a KGB officer. The regime is about to convict her of murder, potentially putting her into a mental ward. 

    Sabotage

    • The Hajun monitoring project tracked the movements of Russian troops in Belarus for May 31.
    • Hajun also reviewed the state propaganda coverage of the war in Ukraine for May 31. Belarusian propaganda continues to put the blame on Ukrainians, such as for the murder of two Belarusian truckers, who died in the aftermath of a missile launch from the territory of Belarus. 

    Awareness campaign

    • The Honest People initiative explained why Belarusians need to limit their relatives’ watching of TV: this may save both their family relationship and mind.
