Moscow has disbanded a law enforcement reserve unit stationed on its border with Belarus following talks between the presidents of the two countries.

At the same time, the Lukashenko government still remains the only constructive political power in Belarus. What’s noteworthy, however, is the high level of organization behind the protests that makes it exquisitely dubious for them to be “accidental”. One of the […]
