September 26,\u00a0Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka turned his fire on his political opponents during his conference with officials in Minsk on September 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He claimed that his exiled opponents are planning \u201cto storm into territory [Belarus] as Ukrainians did it in the Kursk province, occupy part of the territory and destabilize the situation in the country.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a last resort for them, because no one gives money for empty talk,\u201d he said at a government meeting on HR matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka claimed that his exiled opponents \u201cengage in empty talk completely losing the international and internal agendas to Belarusian journalists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, their US sponsors understand it and \u201cstart demanding a more resolute action in return for funding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why, he said, he has to \u201cpay much attention to defense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reiterated that next year\u2019s presidential poll will be a major test. \u201cAn electoral campaign is always a front, always a battlefield,\u201d he stressed, warning the officials against relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least 500,000 Belarusians fled their country fearing political reprisals in the period from the August 2020 presidential election to January 2024, said social scientist Hiennad\u017a Kor\u0161una\u016da in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kor\u0161una\u016d studied available data from countries that shelter Belarusians. After 2020 about 120,000 Belarusian nationals settled down in Poland, 50,000 in Lithuania, 8,000 in Germany and 25,000 in other EU countries. In addition, 11,000 Belarusians moved to Georgia and 5,000 to Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scientist noted that Russia was probably the main destination but it was \u201calmost impossible\u201d to determine the number of people who have gone to Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
