Lukashenko has sought better ties with the West amid strained relations with traditional ally Russia. Brussels lifted sanctions, imposed over Lukashenko’s human rights record, in 2016 but will consider new measures this week. In Brest, a city in southwestern Belarus on the Polish border, police fired live rounds after some protesters it said were armed with metal bars ignored warning shots fired in the air, the ministry said. One person was injured.
Tracked down by Reuters, Valdemar Grubov, the van’s owner, said he was a film producer and that the vehicle contained only his own personal effects.

'Belarus says'?! Is this a successor of a game 'Simon says' or what? :)))
Who is Belarus?
What's wrong with 2020 leadership? It's time to remove those who want to re-live the old days and cold wars Their stances, dreams and opinions have nothing to do what the general population needs While the rest of us have friends worldwide we have the same leaders wage war
Governments have an obligation to protect.
Meanwhile Trump does nothing
Hope end it quickly and peacefully!
If tRump had his way this would be America.
Over the world
GuitarMoog Hoping that we do likewise.
Belarus says Who is Belarus? And what interest is Belarus pursuing...? Reuters doing great journo work again...
Interesting juxtaposition between tweet and photo.
This reminds of Ceausescu's fall from power. Once live rounds are used, those who do the firing have to deal with their conscience. Of course, there are diehard supporters of the regime, but many police officers will eventually recoil at shooting civilians.
BloodSpite Not into masked protesters anymore. Are they even Belarussians? Who knows?
