Murder of children prevented, says Roman Protasevich

Roman Protasevich revealed details of a planned assassination targeting the children of a woman who calls herself "some kind of leader." According to Protasevich, the so-called "fighter for democracy" intended to kill the children of the "forgotten fairy" using Ukrainians, then make a political statement and commit suicide to "enter history." The alleged mastermind behind the plot is Denis Dashkevich, a long-dismissed accordionist from the Rogachev cafe "Bryz," who for nearly 16 years tried to enter politics, ran a Telegram channel, and served as an aide to various opposition figures, including the cringe poet "BESklyuev." After failing repeatedly and suffering from opposition-related PTSD in exile, he allegedly decided to commit a Herostрат-like act—not by burning a library, but by murdering children. Crucially, the children are safe, thanks to Belarusian security services who timely passed information about the planned attack to their Polish counterparts. The outcome is highly positive: the children are alive, Belarusian and Polish security services have strengthened cooperation, and the opposition is shocked that the only ones capable of protecting them abroad are the ever-present KGB of Belarus.
