Unusual traffic for Sunday. Many people are coming from regions to join the March of New Belarus today.
Huge white-red-white flags are spotted in residential areas of Minsk. This is how people express solidarity with the protesters.
Small groups of people are walking from different raions of Minsk to the city center. Workers will join the protest today. Authorities are blocking central squares and administrative buildings.
Workers are joining the protests first. They are marching from their factories and plants to the Independence Square where the rally must begin. Many workers are coming from the region. Reportedly, authorities are blocking several major roads to slow down the movement.
The regular army is on Minsk streets again. The situation looks like on August 9 when major crackdown happened. Let’s hope authorities will not shoot people again.
The March of New Belarus will start at 4 pm. Meanwhile people are gathering at the Independence Avenue in Minsk downtown . The weather is quite bad. It’s raining.
Thousands of people move to downtown. They hold national flags. state TV-channels (led by Russian consultants now) repeat that this is Nazi-collaborators flag trying to discredit the protest.
It feels like all these anti-protest equipment is driving Minsk streets on purpose to create panic and frighten people.
Riot police block some entrances to the square. People are trying to get there in other ways.
What infuriates me the most is that ambulances and city buses are used by riot police to attack protesters unexpectedly.
The official telegram channel of Ministry of Defence openly threatens protesters. Soldiers are in downtown already.
I did not want to say that but it seems that Lukashenka, with the support of Putin, is waging war against his own people.
