Since the outbreak of protests in Belarus, Russian propaganda and official Belarusian media outlets have launched a witch-hunt for an external enemy. The aim is to show that the unrest is really coming from an external act of aggression against Belarus and an assault on the country’s independence. Poland has yet again become a prime target of that campaign.

The protests against the regime of Alexander Lukashenko, which broke out in Belarus weeks ago, continue apace. Belarusians stepped forward to protest and oppose voter fraud. Today, Belarusians are increasingly demanding political changes and the resignation of the current president.
