It is also reported that hundreds of people are starting to walk towards the stele, besides this, in at least five districts of the capital of the Republic of Belarus, people began to gather at key points and go to the city center. At the same time, problems with the Internet began in Minsk.

It is also known that at least two water cannons drove up to the stele and they began to water people.
