Host Of Defense Ministry's Program Quits From BT And Addresses Military

Uladzimir Burko was the host of the "Arsenal" program at the state-run channel.

The host of the military program "Arsenal" Uladzimir Burko left BT. He writes on Facebook that he was tacitly "the media face of the Ministry of Defense of Belarus."

"I would never, even in the most terrible dream, think that the soldiers and equipment I was telling about could be used against my people... - this is a quote from the TV presenter's post. - Against the civilian population of the country, against women and God forbid children".

Burko urges the security forces to think better of it "before it's too late."

He is not the first propagandist who has recently announced his dismissal from state TV channels. People are reacting to the brutal dispersal of peaceful protests, to the mockery against detainees. On August 11 and 12 alone, five propagandists left the state TV channels.
