Reconstructions of the flow of EU and US funds allocated to support Belarusian democracy after the 2020 civic protest.
In 2023, Poland awarded a private organization a grant of 980,000 PLN for a "roadmap" on human rights protection. The foundation's management and supervisory bodies consist of staff and family members of Pavel Latushka, deputy head of the UTC. The organization's bylaws and financial statements are hidden or absent.
A network of private organizations that received €1.05 million from the European Commission and ~$1 million from US donors in 2022–2024. Now a participant in the Belarusian Diaspora Initiative with a €3 million fund. No more than €100,000 has been distributed to Belarusian businesses. Bylaws have not been published; no audit has been conducted.
A network of foundations in Lithuania, Poland, and Spain with a single beneficiary — Tatyana Marinich. In 2022, it received a €2 million grant from the European Commission. Since 2025 a participant in the Belarusian Diaspora Initiative with a €3 million fund. No reporting is available; the foundation that received the EC grant was hastily liquidated.
An Estonian MTÜ positions itself as the main institution of Belarusian culture in exile, with the ArtPower programme budgeted at €2 million. With a 2024 turnover of €737K — zero staff, 99.9% of expenses hidden in a single line, control concentrated in a family couple across 13 legal entities.
