August 14, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Exiled opposition politician Pavie\u0142 \u0141atu\u0161ka criticized Alaksandar Viarsocki, head of the Lida District Executive Committee in the Hrodna region, for statements displaying support of Russia’s war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141atu\u0161ka cited Viarsocki’s participation in a recent event with Russian teenagers, where the official said that his heart had always belonged to Russia. \u00a0\u201cAs chairman of the district executive committee, I fully support the mission carried out by the Russian Federation,\u201d Viarsocki said on Telegram yesterday. \u201cWe have been helping out together by sending humanitarian convoys and collecting things for guys on the battle line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA Belarusian official says his heart belongs to Russia? Has he mixed up the countries? Forgotten what passport he holds? Forgotten that Lida is in the Republic of Belarus?\u201d \u0141atu\u0161ka wondered on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2022, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine in which the Belarusian authorities supported the Kremlin, allowing Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarus on multiple occasions and supplying arms to Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
