Protests against Russia's attack on Ukraine have begun in Belarus
The first detentions took place at polling stations during the referendum in Belarus.
This is reported by the Belarusian edition of Radio Svoboda, Zerkalo.
As noted, people gather in large groups.
They are protesting against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which was supported by Alexander Lukashenko.
According to Radio Svoboda, this happens "in several cities of the country," including Minsk.
Belarusians are chanting "No to war".
Minsk, Grodno and Zhodino report the detention of several people. In particular, a man who was holding the flag of Ukraine.
To recall, on February 26 the leader of the Belarusian opposition Svetlana Tikhonovskaya called on Belarusians to come out to protest against the war with Ukraine.
