«Do you believe that they can shoot from the side of Belarus? - Never in my life!» That's what we were told in the fall of 2021 in Ukrainian border villages on the border with Belarus. There have always been close family ties close to the borderline between Ukrainians and Belarusians. Also, people went to each other in the nearest district centers for shopping and commuted for work. They also did not hide their admiration for the self-proclaimed President Lukashenko as a «good manager» and collective farms in Belarusian villages.
Five months later, after the Russian Army attacked Ukraine from Belarus, we came to a village on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border. We wanted to ask how people's attitudes towards Belarusians and Lukashenko had changed here. Do they continue to communicate with their relatives? Do they regret the closed borders? Do they believe in a new attack? What memories remain of the visit of the Russian Army to the village?
Find out in the report of Mariana Pietsukh.
