Another Belarusian volunteer, Eduard Lobau, died in Ukraine. According to the My Country Belarus Telegram channel, he served in the 72nd separate mechanized brigade, and participated in the liberation of the Kyiv region and Chernobyl from Russian invaders.

Yesterday, the fighter received a shrapnel wound near Vuhledar. He managed to destroy more than five invaders.

Eduard Lobau is a former political prisoner. He was detained on December 18, 2010, together with the leader of the Young Front Zmitser Dashkevich, and then illegally sentenced to four years in a reinforced-security penal colony. Eduard served his term in full in the colony "Wolf Holes".

Lobau did military service in the 5th separate special-purpose brigade in Maryina Horka. He has been fighting in Ukraine since 2015.

In 2014, the Charter97.org website announced him as a laureate of the Viktar Ivashkevich National Human Rights Award.

This is already the 19th Belarusian who gave his life for the independence of Ukraine and Belarus on Ukrainian soil since the beginning of a full-scale war.

In 2022, another winner of the National Human Rights Award, established by Charter'97, Vasil Parfiankou, died.
