Ukrainian intelligence: over 700 Belarusians fight alongside Russian troops

April 28, Pozirk. At least 742 Belarusian nationals fight alongside Russian troops against Ukraine and 95 of them are dead, reports the Ukrainian hochuzhit.com service that helps Russian troops safely surrender.
Only two of 590 Belarusians who signed military service contracts with Russia did it in 2022 after Moscow launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Most of them, 377 or 64 percent, joined in 2024 and 211, in 2023, according to Pozirk’s analysis of the Ukrainian data.
Belarusian society is exposed to Russian propaganda that denigrates Ukrainians, the report stressed, noting that criminal charges punishing mercenarism in Belarus do not scare off those who decide to join Moscow.
Not a single person was persecuted by Minsk for fighting on the Russian side in contrast to Belarusian volunteers who defend Ukraine and face heavy punishments in Belarus.
