The newsroom has called for donations and urged donors to mind possible risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2022, the Belarusian government declared Flagshtok’s content extremist. Earlier that year, the Committee for State Security (KGB) labeled the newsroom an extremist group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news website was launched in 2020 amid a successful public campaign against the regional government\u2019s plan to build a $500,000 giant flagpole in Homiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2022, it has covered movements of Russian troops in southern Belarus, among other developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minsk has waged a massive crackdown on independent media since 2020. Recently, exiled newsrooms have faced financial difficulties, leading to staff reductions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
