BYSOL fundraising
In November 2025, a group of Ukrainian citizens was released after being held in Belarus on political charges. They were extracted from the country and handed over to the Ukrainian side.
Until August 2020, we, like all Belarusians, were engaged in our own projects, but we couldn't stay away when the country was gripped by a wave of violence and lawlessness. Now we help those who suffered at the hands of the regime.
BYSOL supports released political prisoners and their families, people forced to leave the country, Belarusian volunteers in Ukraine, and initiatives that help Belarusians fight lawlessness in the country.
