The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday appealed to its citizens to leave Belarus immediately. This is stated in a message published on the website of the ministry.
It states that in connection with the events in Ukraine and the closure of Belarusian airspace, French citizens are advised not to travel to Belarus or to leave the country.
To the French who are already in Belarus, it is recommended that they leave the country immediately by land transport across the borders with Lithuania, Poland or Latvia.

Those who arrived in Belarus by plane will need to obtain an exit visa from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus.

A group of 35 countries, including the US, Germany, Australia, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom and the Baltic States, will request the suspension of the Russian and Belarusian athletes from the Olympic Games in 2024. This was announced days earlier by the Minister of Sports of Lithuania Jurgita Sugzdinene.
The call to remove Russians and Belarusians from the 2024 Games will increase pressure on the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which recently made proposals to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus, who do not support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to compete under neutral flag. The idea of the International Olympic Committee is that the athletes do not support the Russian invasion of Ukraine in word or deed.
In fact, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, athletes from both countries have been banned except for some sports that allow Russians and Belarusians under a neutral flag, such as tennis. Already at the end of 2022.
