Those two allies successfully crossed into Ukraine in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the Ukrainian border service said. The official Belta news agency said she had been travelling with the two other activists who made it into Ukraine. Kolesnikova could not immediately be reached for comment. Kolesnikova, a member of the opposition coordination council, was the last of three female politicians left in Belarus who joined forces before an Aug. 9 presidential election to try to challenge veteran incumbent Alexander Lukashenko.

Better Call Saul!

Lukashenko should be wise enough to not harm her in any way, but by reading about what they did to other civilians I hope she will be alright Pretty sure Lukashenko will get the world on his neck when he does

BULLSHIT! She was kidnapped of the streets, missing for HOURS, then SUDDENLY she turns up at the border trying to illegally cross with SEVERAL OTHER kidnapped resisters?

detained because she did NOT want to enter Ukraine! pls correct

Coup in ex-Ukraine will not work in Belarus. Can't you understand that for once?

Who is she?

L'ouverture des frontières à côté de la Russie peut et entraînera des conséquences indésirables! Bien! Et pas seulement chaque cas séparément. Et donc dans le pays la Russie est trop proche de la Russie l'Ukraine! et la Biélorussie. Et puis des problèmes dans la grande politique!

Nothing screams BS more than a female leader/activist/protester. Please, women don’t this crap. She is a proxy fighter for the IMF. They recruited a woman purely for optics.

Renforcez le contrôle aux frontières! Sinon, un flot de réfugiés afflueront dans le pays de la Russie de partout! nous ne pouvons pas permettre cela. Chaque cas est considéré comme le cas de Kolesnikova séparément!
