On the ‘invitation’ of Lukashenka, Wagner war criminals are establishing themselves in Belarus. Lukashenka is using the Wagnerites to strengthen his position against the Belarusian people, all the while selling his country’s sovereignty
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: It's deeply distressing to watch footage of Wagner thugs entering Belarus against the will of our people. Belarusians don't want to turn our country into a haven for war criminals. We didn't invite them. Belarus is NOT Russia & we don't want any Russian armed forces on our land. https://t.co/ZhN1ud9CP1

The level of polarisation in Georgia is deeply worrying, and also impacting Georgia’s European aspirations.
A government that works in the interests of its people should bring them closer together, not to divide them further.
