A dramatic scene unfolded at the Belarus-Lithuania border as one of the 52 prisoners released by Belarus reportedly refused to cross into Lithuania. This move followed a request from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Webcam footage depicted the man, dressed in black, sitting on a low wall in the neutral zone, capturing the tension of the standoff.
The Belarusian human rights group Viasna identified the individual as Mikola Statkevich, a prominent opposition politician, hinting at deeper political undercurrents behind this refusal.
