1. That’s devastating – there are so many Belarusians, who opposed Lukashenko in 2020 and now they will be stuck in a limbo. Absolutely heartbreaking.

2. you know you are the best leader, when you need to punish those who fled your wonderful regime

   but then again, his aspirations are worse than thís

3. I know a person living in Belarus their whole life with Russian citizenship who recently gave it up in order to apply for Belarusian citizenship instead. All the sanctions on Russian citizens made it difficult for them to migrate to the EU.
   In reality this might make persecuted persons refugee applications easier.

4. Why are EU borders with that shithole still open?

5. Just sent this to my wife.

6. Scum old fart!

7. Poland seems to be working with Belarusian government in exile to resolve this problem https://belarusabroad.org/en/2023/01/poland-introduced-a-travel-document-for-belarusians-who-have-lost-their-passports/
