Lukashenko Wants to Ban Children from Traveling to Russia Following an Incident in the Bryansk Region
Alexander Lukashenko ordered a ban on Belarusian children traveling abroad without government oversight and special permission.
The statement came after an incident involving a bus carrying young soccer players from Belarus to Gelendzhik, Russia, which was attacked in the Bryansk region.
Lukashenko stated that under current conditions, it is better for children to remain in Belarus and play sports at home, and that all such trips should take place only under state supervision.
He also criticized the parents who organized the trip to Russia, questioning the need to send children abroad for soccer training.

Belarus has vowed to hold accountable anyone who may be involved in the attack on a bus carrying a children’s soccer team in the Bryansk region.
Earlier, partisans from the “ATESH” movement carried out a successful sabotage operation behind enemy lines in Russia’s Bryansk region, disrupting the Russian military’s logistics.
