Belarus Both Spies on Russia and Spies for Russia, BelPol Project Says

Paul Goble Staunton, May 24 – The Belarusian special services operating under diplomatic cover both spy on Russia at Minsk’s embassy and consulates in the Russian Federation and for Russia in Belarusian missions in other countries, according to a new BelPol investigation. The anti-Lukashenka group said that Belarusian spies are in Minsk’s diplomatic missions not only in EU and NATO countries but around the world, helping Moscow as this Belarusian assistance is not widely recognized (echofm.online/news/proekt-belpol-opublikoval-rassledovanie-o-predpolagagemoj-seti-belorusskih-speczsluzhb-pod-diplomaticheskim-prikrytiem). But BelPol found that “the largest concentration of Belarusian agents is found in Russia” where the total number of spies in the embassy and consulates “exceed those of any other Belarusian diplomatic post abroad, a reflection of the fact that “Luashenka does not fully trust Russia as an ally.”
