According to Kuprej\u010dyk, the agents are embedded within Belarusian diplomatic missions in, among others, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Serbia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States. The largest Belarusian spy ring allegedly operates in Russia, spanning consulates and embassy offices in different cities and working hand in hand with Russia\u2019s Federal Security Service to monitor the Belarusian community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Belarusian spies mostly hide behind the diplomatic titles of first and second secretary, counsellor and military attach\u00e9 and report to the Main Foreign Intelligence Directorate of the Central Apparatus of the Committee for State Security (KGB) and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Kuprej\u010dyk said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their main objective is to legitimize Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s regime through disinformation and lobbying and to facilitate the circumvention of sanctions, he said. They also collect information about Belarusian opposition forces, infiltrate their ranks, discredit their representatives, lure \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s opponents into Belarus and also provide various services for Russian intelligence agencies, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"insert-block\">\n\n    <div class=\"insert-block__img\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"354\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752-354x236.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752-354x236.jpg 354w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752-734x490.jpg 734w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752-178x118.jpg 178w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pozirk.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pozirk_color_blank_1128x752.jpg 1128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/>                        <label class=\"insert-block__tag--mobile\"> Politics<\/label>\n\n                            <label class=\"insert-block__tag--mobile\"> Security<\/label>\n\n                <\/div>\n    <div class=\"insert-block__text\">\n                    <label class=\"insert-block__tag\">Politics, Security<\/label>\n                <h3 class=\"insert-block__title\">BelPol intelligence group leader appeals to EU to impose tougher sanctions on Belarus<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"insert-block__descr\">May 22, Pozirk.
