Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran that helps Tehran strike US targets. The US asked Ukraine for help fighting Iranian drones. Russia's war against Ukraine is expanding - with the Middle East emerging as another battlefield.
I put the search query "Belarus news" into @perplexityai.bsky.social, and the first result it gave me was Belta, the Belarusian state-controlled news agency.
Lukashenka is pouring money into state propaganda, jails independent journalists - so why is Perplexity amplifying it?
The case highlights how Belarusian intelligence networks are becoming increasingly active internationally - whether acting alongside Russia or pursuing the Lukashenka regime's own efforts to influence European politics.
According to investigators, he allegedly maintained operational contact with #Belarus's KGB and systematically reported sensitive information using covert communication methods, including shared email drafts.
A former senior Moldovan intelligence official, Alexandru Bălan, has been detained and is now on trial for espionage.
On #InternationalWomensDay, I'm thinking of my friend Katsiaryna Andreeva. Arrested while reporting live in 2020, she was sentenced to 8 years in prison in #Belarus. I'm calling for a campaign of solidarity to help secure her release.
Thank you, dear colleagues from the EESC, for the video.
Lukashenka has pardoned 15 political prisoners in #Belarus, according to state media. Their names are still being clarified. Since 2020, 605 political prisoners have been pardoned or released under amnesty - but 1,140 people remain behind bars. Repression in Belarus continues.
#Belarus If you think you work hard, try competing with the Belarusian regime. They've added 9,000+ items to the country's "extremist materials" list.
9,000!
Nothing says productivity like mass-labeling information as extremist.
With Middle East airspace closed, many Belarusians vacationing in the UAE are stranded. The local diaspora stepped up: launching a Telegram chat with housing offers and advice for those stuck in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah.
Even in this situation, solidarity never disappears!
I'd rather be on cooler lists - I don't know, 40 under 40? But for now, I'm on the wanted list across CIS countries and labeled a terrorist and extremist in #Belarus. Some people know how to collect "awards."
Lukashenka is getting lonelier and lonelier, it seems.
Israel and the US launch strikes on Iran - explosions reported in Tehran.
Israel’s defense minister announced a “preventive military operation” to neutralize potential threats from Tehran.
The attack comes just days after Iran-US talks on reviving the nuclear deal.
#Ukraine has dismantled a mesh guidance network used by Russian Shahed drones - including relay nodes that operated from #Belarus, according to Ukraine's Defense Ministry. Kyiv says several transmitters on Belarusian territory were taken offline.
#Belarus Belarusians took to the streets against Russia's invasion of #Ukraine just days after it began.
Around 1000 people were detained in a single day - then more. People were shot for railway sabotage, jailed for comments.
This was after 1.5 years of nonstop terror.
If you ever hear me say, "I'm not getting into that work-travel–work–travel–no-time-again loop," please don't believe me. I'm usually a trustworthy person - but on that? No chance.
I love what I do - but wow, March is already heating up.
Starting something new - more soon!
#Belarus Residents of Homiel reported a drone flying over residential neighborhoods, according to local media. They suggested it may have been a Shahed-136 drone, which Russia uses in its war against Ukraine. Local officials warned of liability for any filming or publications.
#Belarus Lukashenka's delegation to the UN voted to please Russia once again. The regime is against a lasting peace in Ukraine. If you hear about any attempts by Lukashenka to present himself as a peacemaker, remember this - he has enabled the war.
I have not gotten used to the ongoing war - not to the lives taken, nor to the bravery and resilience it demands. I never take for granted the everyday courage of Ukrainians, because there are limits to human endurance. That is why they must receive all the support necessary to achieve a just peace.
Uncivilised.
#Belarus in 2026: Volha Chukarava, 50, had a stroke in prison. She lost her sight - completely. A former accountant, she was sentenced to 4 years under "extremism". Her teenage daughter is in a dorm. Her son is in the army. Her mother is bedridden.
#Belarus The Lukashenka regime is still helping Russian soldiers with medical rehab.
Freed from Ukrainian captivity, Russian troops were treated for weeks in Belarus (Homiel region), including surgery, before being sent back to Russia.
Thank you! Will have to practice the old ones too, but need to have more Polish in my life!
merci!
3+ months ago, I started learning French. I don't have much time to dedicate to it, but I can already feel its fun influence creeping in. I wrote dynamique instead of dynamic, forgot how to spell park because it's parc in French, and recently caught myself saying "work" with a French r.
#Belarus Another blow to Belarusian culture. In Minsk, the regime detained Andrei Kim - founder of the Belarusian film project Kinakong - and his wife. They brought movies and cartoons to audiences in the Belarusian language, translating and filling cinemas across the country.
#Belarus Mass detentions of publishers and booksellers in Minsk this week, reported by the Belarusian outlet Nasha Niva. Don't get blindsided by talk of "dialogue" or "sanctions relief." The regime is still crushing Belarusian culture and civil society. Repression hasn't paused. It continues.
Relevant for #Belarus. To all foreign experts who gladly travel to Minsk, meet with the Lukashenka MFA, and then promote narratives about "renewing relations" with the regime:
With all due respect - wake up.
You are either misinformed or you are fed with lies and manipulated.
#Ukraine It's astonishing to hear Putin wants to end the war. The plan was the seizure of Kyiv via Hostomel, assassination of Zelenskyy and installation of a pro-Russian regime. Failing to achieve those goals is a defeat. He isn't seeking peace - he's trying to avoid losing.
