Person:notes | Dzmitry Zhuk is a long-time supporter of Aliaksandr Lukashenka and his regime. He was previously the head of Lukashenka’s press service and a long-time director-general of the biggest State news agency, Belarusian Telegraph Agency (BelTA). Since 2018, he has been the director and editor-in-chief of the Belarus Today publishing house. In this position, Dzmitry Zhuk has willingly provided the Belarusian public with false information about repression perpetrated by the State authorities, spread disinformation produced by both Belarusian and Russian authorities and promoted hatred towards democratic opposition and civil society. He is directly responsible for the way in which Belarus Today presents information about the situation in the country, lending support to the authorities, including Lukashenka. He is therefore supporting the Lukashenka regime. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-77812 | ||||
