Belarusians provided assistance to children on the Lithuanian border

With the wording "they pose a threat to national security", a Moldovan children’s choir is being held on the Lithuanian border for two days. The choir was returning from a tour that took place in Poland and Belarus. The Poles did not let them go home. On the recommendation of the Moldovan Foreign Ministry, the choir tried to proceed to Moldova through Lithuania. But here, without explanation, the bus was taken under escort. The children were not fed or allowed to go to the toilet. The choir's head called for help on social networks. Belarusians intervened in the situation. BRSM volunteers went to the checkpoint and gave the children food and water. The education department also got involved. One of the local schools in the Oshmyany district provided the children with everything necessary. The music and choir studio "Rhapsody" from Chisinau took part in the international children's theater forum "Steps" hosted by Minsk. Theater groups from Belarus, Russia, Moldova, and Uzbekistan took part in the project – more than 150 participants in total. The Grand Prix of the competition was awarded to a team from Moldova.
