Lukashenko instructed to ban trips of children's groups abroad without state supervision

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has ordered a ban on trips abroad for organized children's groups without state supervision and special permission. This was reported by the BelTA news agency on June 18.

The Head of State stressed that he did not intend to condemn parents for deciding to go on vacation with their children to another country, but now, in his opinion, it is better to "stay at home."

"We need to practice football and other activities here. It's more comfortable here in a quiet, peaceful country," Lukashenko said.

Earlier, he noted that the attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on a bus carrying Belarusian citizens in the Bryansk region is an act of banditry, terrorism and a manifestation of open fascism. In her opinion, the attack on the bus is an attempt to provoke Minsk and draw the republic into the conflict. At the same time, the Belarusian side remains calm and continues to clarify the circumstances of the incident.
