Belarusian activist Illia Dabratvor, who lives in exile in Poland, has sparked controversy after proposing that Belarusians wear T-shirts reading "I am not Ukrainian" to avoid being mistaken for Ukrainians amid recent tensions involving migrants in Poland. Instead of support, the idea drew widespread criticism from both the Belarusian diaspora and Ukrainians, who accused him of fuelling ethnic division and undermining solidarity with a nation fighting for its survival. Belsat gathered reactions from social media users and asked a media expert why such rhetoric is dangerous.
