Belarusian authorities have intensified measures targeting citizens studying at universities across Europe as part of a broader campaign against overseas opposition. Students pursuing degrees abroad face growing legal pressure from Minsk, including the elimination of military deferments, summonses to return home, and potential criminal charges. The restrictions have left many young Belarusians facing difficult choices between continuing their higher education in exile or risking detention and forced military service upon returning to their home country.
- Belarus has ended military draft deferments for students enrolled in foreign higher education institutions.
- Students studying in European Union member states face potential legal action or arrest if they return to Belarus.
- The regulatory changes primarily affect young Belarusians who relocated abroad following the 2020 political protests.
- European educational institutions and host governments are assessing options to extend legal protections and academic support to affected students.

And there is no crackdown on pro☮️☮️☮️ Ukrainian men? Why are they beaten and pushed into vans and off to the front lines against their will?
I would have believed this report, but the western Media has proven again and again and again to be biased in their reporting.
Hence until I listen to the other side I would take this with a pinch of salt🤦🤦🤦
Messrs EU., you are our only hope. I am speaking on behalf of the russian – speaking population of Ukraine (due to the USSR). I am confident everyone will support you. Freeze all the stolen offshore accounts of mindich -zelensky and his mindich mafia in the Verkhovna Rada and return them to Ukraine.
Then you won't have to provide financial assistance or feed zelensky's clown mafia. And treat him like Maduro: hand him over to the European justice system.
An institution whose main financial donor is the European Commission is unwelcome in Belarus. This isn't surprising, is it? Considering that the European Commission is preparing for war.
Belarus decides nothing, all Belarus actions are decided in Moskou, Lukashenko is nothing but a Putin puppet.

"On June 14, 2013, EHU was awarded an Atlantic Council Freedom Award for unwavering commitment to democracy in Belarus by providing Belarusian students with a free and democratic environment to pursue their education." Wiki
Just what kind of "university" is this?
I hope Lukašenko sees the light of day and leads Belarus through 10 years of war and lose 2/3 of the population like our favorite and highly decorated counterpart across the border.
Targeting students and threatening their families back home is a whole new level of authoritarian fear
