Several huge columns like this marching Minsk streets in the direction of Drazdy where Lukashenka resides.
March of Heroes in Minsk. Protesters got through the police cordons. Police attack the column from time to time, hundreds detained.
Observers report 100-150 thousand participants of March of Heroes in different parts of Minsk. Police are leaving downtown and quickly move to Lukashenka’s resident to fortify.
The last moment change of March’s plan created some confusion among protesters, but it definitely disrupted all plans of police. Protesters are flexible; police need time to regroup.
There is no sign that the protests are declining or fading away. And it’s very bad for Lukashenka who wanted to show Putin that he is in control of the situation. Tomorrow they meet in Sochi.
Riot police cordoned the road to Drazdy. Nearby — houses of high-level officials and Lukashenka himself. Protesters stopped. They are chanting ”Tribunal” and ”Long Live Belarus!” there are multiple anti-Kremlin and pro-independence slogans and posters today.
