The next live TV show from Intent, Intent.Insight, on Tuesday, August 13, will be dedicated to Belarus.

At 18:00 on Intent's YouTube channel, the host and editor-in-chief of Intent , Valeriy Bolgan, will meet with Alina Rudina, a Belarusian media personality who was forced to move to Ukraine, to discuss this issue.

Four years have passed since Lukashenko's regime suppressed protests after the presidential election in Belarus. What does this country look like today? Can it be considered occupied by Russia? Who are the Belarusians fighting for and against Ukraine?

These and other questions will be discussed on the program.
