Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Director General (CEO) State News Agency BELTA since May 2003. Responsible for relaying state propaganda in the media, which has supported and justified the repression of the democratic opposition and of civil society on 19 Dec 2010 using falsified information.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Dzmitry Zhuk is a long-time supporter of Aliaksandr Lukashenka and his regime. He was previously the head of Lukashenka’s press service and a long-time director-general of the biggest State news agency, Belarusian Telegraph Agency (BelTA). Since 2018, he has been the director and editor-in-chief of the Belarus Today publishing house. In this position, Dzmitry Zhuk has willingly provided the Belarusian public with false information about repression perpetrated by the State authorities, spread disinformation produced by both Belarusian and Russian authorities and promoted hatred towards democratic opposition and civil society. He is directly responsible for the way in which Belarus Today presents information about the situation in the country, lending support to the authorities, including Lukashenka. He is therefore supporting the Lukashenka regime.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Director and editor-in-chief of the Belarus Today publishing house

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Dzmitry Zhuk est un soutien de longue date d’Aliaksandr Loukachenka et de son régime. Il était auparavant à la tête du service de presse de Loukachenka, puis, pendant un certain temps, directeur général de la plus grande agence de presse publique, l’Agence télégraphique biélorusse (BelTA). Depuis 2018, il occupe le poste de directeur et rédacteur en chef de la maison d’édition “Belarus Today”. À ce titre, Dzmitry Zhuk a délibérément fourni au public biélorusse de fausses informations sur les répressions perpétrées par les autorités de l’État, propagé la désinformation produite par les autorités biélorusses et russes et incité à la haine à l’égard de l’opposition démocratique et de la société civile. Il est directement responsable de la façon dont “Belarus Today” présente les informations sur la situation dans le pays, apportant ainsi un soutien aux autorités, y compris à Loukachenka. Il soutient donc le régime de Loukachenka.
