On May 31, at 16:10, the body of a newborn male infant was found in a dumpster located near house No. 90 on Kosmonavtov Street in Polotsk.

The Polotsk Savior-Transfiguration Church, founded by Saint Euphrosyne, is the only almost entirely preserved 12th-century structure in Belarus. Therefore, it is understandable that the restoration work, which began here in 2012, is still ongoing. Frescoes have also been undergoing restoration with interruptions since 1992. Haste would only harm the architectural monument, which, according to Belarusian and Russian experts who visited here last week, may be nominated for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

At the same time, in the total volume of citizens' appeals to the KGBK, the share of complaints about the activities of housing and communal services remains one of the highest - 34.5%. The largest number of complaints is related to capital repairs. According to Mikhail Agafonov, this is due to the high proportion of old housing, especially in Vitebsk, which requires significant investment to bring it into order. "Funds do not allow such repairs to be carried out simultaneously," he stated.

During the visit, the official delegation held negotiations at the Leipzig City Hall with Mr. U. Albrecht, Deputy Mayor of Leipzig for Economic Affairs, where the parties familiarized themselves with the economic opportunities of Leipzig and Vitebsk.
