Summary
Belarusian journalist
The Director Disqualification Sanction was imposed on 09/04/2025.
Obywatel Białorusi Andrei Kryvasheyeu jest Dyrektorem Generalnym agencji „Minsk-Novosti”, członkiem Białoruskiego Związku Dziennikarzy. Aktywnie wspiera reżim A. Łukaszenki. Z informacji posiadanych przez Agencję Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego wynika, że wjazd i pobyt obywatela Białorusi stanowią zagrożenie dla bezpieczeństwa państwa. Dotychczasowa aktywność wymienionej osoby sytuuje ją jako zwolennika reżimu Aleksandra Łukaszenki. Taka postawa w obliczu rosyjskich działań wojennych na Ukrainie, wsparcia logistycznego i politycznego udzielonego Moskwie przez władze białoruskie, a także toczonej wobec Rzeczypospolitej wojny hybrydowej stwarza poważne ryzyko prowokacji lub wywołania incydentów skutkujących uszczerbkiem dla pozycji międzynarodowej RP.
