MEP Michał Kobosko initiated the adoption of an urgent resolution by the European Parliament concerning the immediate risk of further repressions by the Lukashenko regime in Belarus — namely, threats coming from the Investigative Committee . "During the march on March 23, 2025 in Warsaw and in the days that followed, Belarusians who took part in demonstrations abroad approached me with a request to draw the attention of European politicians to the crimes being committed by the Lukashenko regime against Belarusians living in EU countries: criminal cases, trials in absentia (so-called 'special proceedings'), blackmail, threats, persecution of relatives in Belarus by the regime's security services, property confiscation and more". "In response to these crimes, NAM also launched an information campaign to raise awareness among Western media and politicians about the regime’s cross-border crimes". "It is important to note that as a result, concrete proposals prepared by NAM were included in the final draft of the resolution. These also reflect the voices of Belarusians who reached out to us after facing persecution by the Lukashenko regime. This is a good example of a swift reaction by the EU's representative body to an unprecedented situation" , noted Pavel Latushka. In its resolution, the European Parliament "considers the persecution of Belarusian citizens for their peaceful democratic activities abroad through 'special proceedings' by the Investigative Committee as a direct violation of the territorial sovereignty of EU Member States"  and "calls for pan-European legal support and protection for Belarusians in exile" , including those who cannot renew their identity documents and are subjected to extraterritorial persecution. The European Parliament also "calls on the International Criminal Court to expedite proceedings concerning crimes against humanity committed by the Lukashenko regime" . In addition, the document contains a call to impose  "additional sanctions similar to those applied to Russia, particularly against officials responsible for transnational repression" . The European Parliament also insists on the need to strengthen "political, financial and technical support for independent media, human rights defenders and civil society initiatives". "I am grateful to the Members of the European Parliament and personally to MEP Michał Kobosko for their principled stance and concrete action in response to the new repressions of the Lukashenko regime. This is a message to the dictator: crimes against Belarusians abroad will not go unpunished. It is necessary to increase pressure, expand sanctions and push for concrete measures to stop the terror against Belarusians both inside Belarus and beyond its borders" , stated Pavel Latushka.

During the meeting, issues related to supporting the investigation conducted by Polish law enforcement agencies into crimes committed against Belarusian citizens in 2020 and in the following years on the territory of Belarus were discussed. The National Anti-Crisis Management, under a cooperation agreement with the law firm "Kopeć & Zaborowski", based on a request from NAM, maintains regular communication and provides support in the investigation of the aforementioned cases . Currently, the law firm is handling cases of at least 15 Belarusians who suffered from torture carried out on the territory of Belarus. It is important to note that the law firm provides this legal support to the NAM team and Belarusian citizens on a pro bono   basis . Investigative actions concerning the facts of torture committed against Belarusians are being carried out by the Polish Internal Security Agency under the supervision of the National Prosecutor’s Office of Poland. Reference:  Thanks in part to the active position of the National Anti-Crisis Management, aimed at using national mechanisms to bring to justice those responsible for the torture of Belarusians, the Polish Prosecutor’s Office has already issued six arrest warrants for regime representatives — including the heads of the detention center on Okrestina, the detention center in Zhodino, and four leaders of units within the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The basis for this was criminal prosecution for acts of torture committed on the territory of Belarus against citizens of Poland. The NAM team requests assistance in covering the minimum organizational, transport, and logistical expenses for the lawyers of "Kopeć & Zaborowski" in the event of their travel to provide legal defense for the interests of Belarusian citizens outside of Warsaw. The target amount is 5,000 zlotys. We will be grateful for any donation amount.

In Lukashenko’s inner circle, there is growing murmuring that China has become not a salvation, but a threat to Belarusian industry. MAZ, MTZ, "Gomselmash" — everything that for decades was considered the backbone of a sovereign economy is now rapidly losing the competitive battle in its main export direction — Russia. Sales of Belarusian machinery in the Russian Federation have significantly decreased. The exception is equipment purchased for the Russian army — often through political agreements, for lack of other options, and not because of quality or market demand. While Lukashenko publicly speaks about the "great Chinese partnership" and the "allied duty of Russia", the real economic processes show the opposite: Russia is buying equipment more out of politeness than necessity and is increasingly shifting to domestic or Chinese production. China has not only filled the heavy machinery market in Russia but is also ready to swallow the Belarusian market. That is why even Lukashenko’s entourage is gradually seeing the light and is forced to admit: Belarus cannot compete with Chinese industry, and accordingly, will continue to lose its already scarce sales markets, which in turn will lead to a decline in industrial production, and along with it, the collapse of power. Economists, independent analysts, and even part of the regime-loyal officials agree: if Belarus loses its industrial base, it will lose everything. Because industry accounts for 25–30% of GDP, tens of thousands of jobs, exports, foreign currency earnings, and taxes. Already now, the country is buying more than it sells and is covering the difference with new loans. Lukashenko bears direct personal responsibility for the systemic collapse of Belarus's industrial and export potential. Since the beginning of his rule, he has consistently blocked any reforms and attempts at economic modernization, stifling development even in sectors where the country had a foundation. For two decades, independent economists, managers, and international consultants have proposed reforms: privatization with transparent mechanisms, the creation of free competition, reducing the state’s share in the economy, tax reform, cost reduction, and technological renewal. Lukashenko called all these proposals a "collapse of the country", "betrayal", "imposition of capitalism", and labeled their authors as "enemies of the people".
