Belarusian KGB Uses Telegram Bot to Recruit Citizens Abroad for Intelligence

The Belarusian KGB has launched a Telegram bot to recruit Belarusians living abroad, offering money for information gathering and leaflet distribution, raising concerns about intelligence activities.

Background

Belarus has faced international isolation and sanctions following the 2020 presidential election and subsequent crackdown on dissent. The government, led by Alexander Lukashenka, maintains close ties with Russia. This context has led to heightened scrutiny of Belarusian state activities, particularly those involving intelligence and foreign relations.
