Sabotage

- Hajun also reviewed the state propaganda coverage of the war in Ukraine for May 31. Lukashenkа yet again claimed that Ukraine will soon lose the war.
- BYPOL, the union of former law enforcers, analyzed the “people's militia” that the regime is planning to create: the militia will be tasked with protecting the dictatorship when Lukashenka drags Belarus into the war.
- Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya stated that the regime had given an order for the Belarusian troops to attack Ukraine. She said the top officers understood that the soldiers were demoralized, so they “did not let the order pass further”.
Awareness campaign
- BYPOL released an investigation revealing the names of the regime's security officers involved in the repression, who fled to the EU.
- The new issue of Chestnaja Gazeta underground outlet discusses economic issues, huge inflation, and wages and pensions, which are declining for the fifth month in a row. Belarusians distribute underground press to counter the regime's propaganda.
