Belarusians who live in CEE countries support Ukraine individually and as members of Belarussian organisations and initiatives in Poland, the Czech Republic and Lithuania.
The heroic fight against Russian aggression gave rise to an unprecedented wave of solidarity with Ukraine all over the world and especially in Central Eastern Europe (CEE). Countries there were the first to provide shelter for the millions of refugees. Many Belarusians offer their help as volunteers on the Polish-Ukrainian border, at the railroad stations in Kraków, Warsaw, Prague and other Central European cities, in regional refugee centres.
