Belarusian volunteers enlisted in 2022 to fight against Russia 's war of aggression in Ukraine .

Most Belarusians are denied permission to stay in Ukraine after leaving the army because they do not meet the requirements for a residence permit.

Many of the veterans relocate to an EU country, usually Poland , where they can receive asylum.

The Association of Belarusian Volunteers registered in Poland registered in 2023 includes as many as 200 fighters.

New law offers permits for non-Ukrainians who fight for Ukraine will be able to obtain a residence permit, even if their passports have expired.

Within a year of martial law being lifted, Russians and Belarusians who obtained a Ukrainian passport in this way will have to renounce their initial citizenship.

Belarus opposition-leader-in-exile says hundreds of Belarusians are affected.
