Hundreds of protesters are detained in one of the biggest demonstrations against President Alexander Lukashenko on the eve of his trip to Russia for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
More than 100,000 Belarusians have taken to the streets of Minsk to continue protests against President Alexander Lukashenko as Moscow prepared to send in Russian paratroopers for "Slavic Brotherhood" joint drills.
Moscow has stepped up support recently, offering to potentially restructure Belarusian debt, provide banking liquidity and make Russian riot police available if needed. Protests have swept Belarus since the August 9 presidential election, which demonstrators said was won by Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya — now exiled in Lithuania.
