Lukashenko Shows No Sign Of Backing Down After Weeks Of Protest

MINSK, BELARUS - AUGUST 29: Natasha looks at Andrei on their way to an anti-government Women's March on August 29, 2020 in Minsk, Belarus. There have been daily protests since the disputed August 9th presidential elections, along with strikes and walkouts from factories to tech companies. Protests have seen much of the middle-class population, a pillar of the economy, join in and demand Alexander Lukashenko resign from his 26-year rule. Andrei and Natasha, 26 and 27-years-old Belarusian couple, have attended most of the protests since the start. The couple plan on leaving Belarus and relocating to Ukraine, where Andrei's tech employer will be moving offices. (Photo by Misha Friedman/Getty Images)
